   Try reseating the pads with coppergrease
   But what pads and discs are you using? It could be down to cheap pads and discs which can cause squealing aswell

   WD-40 cures all squeaking , it will also mean that your brakes don't work, but hey squeaking gone right?

   usually you get a little sachet with the pads but if not any motor factor or halfords sell them if you really cant find any i can put some in a bag and send it to you might be a bit dodgy for the postman if he sits on it though lol
