   When going along fairly slowly there is a loud squeaking noise coming from one of the brakes I assume on the drivers side, anyone know what it is?/ how to fix it? drives you crazy.
   
   Think its coming from the brakes because when you apply a little pressure to the brake pedal it stops?
   
   Any help appreciated.

   take out your pads and put some copper slip onto the back of them should stop the squealing mine use to do it

   To the op you may have a sticking brake caliper on 1 side.
