    it started happening a while back, when was going round a roundabout with a bit of speed, normall cornering was fine, as i think was going oo slow for it to occur, to start with i assumed was tyres sqealing abit..
    but now has started squealing when turning right..
    any ideas?? i saw somewhere that could be wheel bearing?
    cheers in advance

    It does sound like the wheel bearing to me. Going round a roundabout at speed would put pressure on it, causing it to make a noise. Could have got worse.

    Not that expensive at all

    I had a squeak on my saxo as well...it then turned in to more of a grind and now I know it is the driveshaft as the gaiter has popped off so I will be fixing that this weekend
