hi people

i got my car(saxo-vtr-2001) back from the garage today(quick-clutch in hull and there citroen specialist's)

it's had a few bit's repaired:

1xsnapped drive-shaft
2xball joint's
2x back pad's
and they had to free of x1 of my break caliper's because it was seized but im not sure which 1 it was

to the sum of £576.80

i've only had chance to drive the car a short distance since getting it back(no more the 4 mile's)and i've noticed i've developed an annoying sqeek from what sound's like the r/o/s wheel

its not a constant sqeek its sound like somet catching on the wheel/brake/ect but its only happening while driveing

(it goes sqeek-quiet-sqeek-quiet-sqeek-ect-ect and the faster i go the faster it does it but if i apply the brake peddal it goes till i lift off again)

could this just be because of the pad's being new an need "bedding in" or could it be the "problem caliper" again

im going to jack it up in morning and hopefully find out what's causing it

is there any thing else i should be looking for/check....???

thank's for reading and an even bigger thank's if you reply/help

Get yourself some spanners mate and learn that was alot of money
for something that wasnt that hard.
Give the pads a chance to bed in ,it should settle down ok.

i've got spanner's ect,i just aint got the garage/place to do it
(my garage is in the middle of a street with no electric and about 12-18 inch either side of my car to work in,so i'd have to do it in the street/eliments)

and i work mon-fri then the misses works sat+sun while i have my 2 young daughters

and im not realy to bothered about the price(ill be coming in to a fair bit of £££ in a few weeks)

oh and cheers mate!
