I have been on the hunt for the mice that been squeeking and squealing in my car but I havent found them. So whats up!

It happens when I reverse and when I am turning right. It a constant squeal

Car is due a service soon. Will that fix it?

Have you tried installing a cat?

If it's happens when turning and reversing, could it be bearings or gearbox trouble?

Does it go when you touch the brake pedal lightly ??

I'm thinking the same as Ste here its probably brake related ..but give us some more info Gazzy just in case it isnt

More info - it isn't brake related

I select reverse and it squeals until I come to a stop. Sounds like it coming from pass rear

I turn right and it squeals until the wheels are straight. Sounds like it coming from driv front

Done 7500 miles. Rear has been happening for a while. I have noticed the front for about the last 2 weeks

How do you know its not brake related have you checked to see if you have a sticking pad here and there ..you can get a build up of brake dust and debris that unless its cleared will keep on doing it ..do you feel confident enough to have a check and clean up and regrease the back of the pads etc with copper grease and so on ??

It dont happen when I touch the brakes like ste said

The was the whole point of Stilo_ste's question Gaz.

That means it IS brake related

That's because you are applying pressure on the pads to the disc then ..and when you release the brake pedal the piston is probably sticking or the pad and then rubbing give the whole lot a brake service and I'm sure it will solve the problem for you..on the fronts also check that the metal dics cover at the rear of the discs are not touching the disc at all

I had a scraping/squealing noise coming from my front disc, it was the metal guard plate like Phil said, just bent it away from the brake disc and all was sorted

My mistake I got the question completly wrong

Would they check the brakes on second service or I got to tell them to have a look

They SHOULD check the brakes but I'd tell them anyway

They'd only visually check, wouldn't think they'd touch anything. My guess would be the brake disc guard.
Give em a jet wash first.
