   Right front passenger wheel squeaks, garage have had a look and said theres nothing wrong with caliper, altho i think there is, the noise stops when braking which makes me think that it is the brakes and not wheel bearing or anything like that.
   
   few people have said sticky caliper, anyone else got any ideas? goin to go to garage this afternoon ask if they could take the caliper off and slap some grease on it see if that solves it

   take the sliders out of the calipers and clean and regrease them.

   How easy is it to take the sliders out? As i think mine are really stiff and are wearing the pads more then they should be because they havent got free movement.
