If they genuinely have checked everything "mechanical" and as they say the noise is intermittent and or lessening.
I'd suspect grit in between the pads and the discs, that is assuming it isn't the pads so badly worn they've gone down to the rivets.......

Fingers crossed they haven't checked the brake pads.

mjrimmer ... did you find a solution to your problem (noise when turning right)? I had a Freelander that demonstrated this problem, and it was an early sign of a bearing in the drive shaft, although the dealer kept saying there was nothing wrong. Now I have an LR2 and am starting to experience what looks like a similar problem ... vibration from an unknown source. A friend who is a BMW mechanic says it's likely the drive shaft, but the dealer thinks it's the brakes which doesn't seem to make sense.
