Are the shims/pad attachments squeezed in towards the disc? Stones in behind the guard? might be worth taking the wheels off to check these points but someone else here might have had the same fault :thumbs:
 

Nicely

Moving on...

copper slip on shims?? whats that??
That's the stuff that helps the anti-squeal shims stop the pads from squealing... Copper slip is copper grease. Put a thin layer over the shims and replace.

I was asking if you had Mintex pads, as they have a reputation for squealing.
