Are you completely sure it's not grit or a stone jammed? |

Googling it suggests it's brake dust buildup as many have it. On mine a long motorway journey gets rid of the problem and then city driving brings it back, when braking at slow speed. Lookers have had a look and say they can't see anything, so doubtful it's a stone Steve. |

Mine used to be similar on Genuine pads, I'm EBC green now and had no issues at all like genuine did.

I had the same and been to two dealers to sort. Cleaning sorts for a while last time a few k (just hit 13k total) and started this week again. Was told my a friendly tec at the one dealer that the anti squeal shims had been removed on the my15? |

I thought this was solved by putting copper grease on the back of the pads when fitting? Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197

Thanks for all the replies. I'm sadly not mechanically minded, so no idea what the answer is, but from all I've read, what the Land Rover Assist chap said and according to Steve's comment above, it's the use of not fit for purpose brake pads by Land Rover that cause the excess dust buildup which then causes the squealing.
