Piston or slides?

i believe its the slide as a pad is rubbing the disc very slightly as i drive

Sticky slide will show up as wear in one pad more than the other.

Basically, release the caliper holder from the hub (2 x 10mm bolts) and the caliper will come off the holder.

Clean all the old grease away with WD40, regrease and reassemble.

Blob of threadlock on the bolts.

is it like a squeak you can hear?

shamfer the leading edge of the pad a little it will stop the noise
