Hi all, just replaced pads and discs all round on my defender 90 td5, all seemed fine for a week or so , then squealing started on braking, this was happening prior to renewing brakes so thought disc and pad change would sort it,but problem has returned ,any advice appreciated. Cheers Terry Bailey
 
I got this for a while after I rebuilt my brakes, especially going downhill. It wore off after a while. Some people fit anti-squeal shims between the piston and the pad. However, with new pads and discs it might be difficult to squeeze them in, as things are a bit tight in my experience. Needless to say, there are complaints that Britpart brake components tend to squeak a lot!
 
Good point. If packets of nuts have to tell you they contain nuts I imagine H&S try an dissuade people putting grease near their brake pads. I still do it though.
 
i have totally overhauled my brake system including calipers and master cylinder, new discs and pads both mintex, lubed pads with ceramic grease and they started squaking after a few weeks. i'll live with it though, it may wear off
 
Thanks for the replies, they were copper slipped at back of pads , maybe be better when worn more, keep suggestions coming cheers. Terry

Not sure! But my friends who run garages have told me they cant even use copperslip now ( supposed to contain traces of arsenic!), they have to use alislip instead now! :rolleyes:
I still use it, enforcement doesn't seem to have got round to the farms yet! :D
 
Another trick is to put a small chamfer on the leading edge of the pads, similar to what we used to do with shoes.
 
Lol, I'll be waiting with a shotgun and a scary looking spaniel (oxymoron?) when they do.
