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

Did you copper grease the backs of the pads?

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!

I often do that too!

And it does work! No idea whether it is considered a safe procedure nowadays, though.

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!

I still use it, enforcement doesn't seem to have got round to the farms yet!

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.

I stick a chamfer on both leading and trailing edges on mine.
