right, while traveling at speed...dont know exactly but i notice it when i'm doing 40-60mph, it started to happen when i only turn a very little bit to the right, now it does it at about the same point left and right, sounds to be comming from my front diver side wheel... any ideas? its a real loud constant squeek and its when the steering wheel is at about 5 degrees either way
 
Probably coming from your brakes, when it happens again try dabbing on the brakes and if it disappears then it is nothing to worry about. It'll be coming from your rear drums and a bit of dirt in them.

as i said i'm sure its comming from the front, could the pads be nackered? to be honest they feel it, looks like the marea fund will be going back down again :(

or do i just bodge it for when i sell?

right, it is comming from the front and it does stop when i tap the breaks when it happening
 
Probably a very slightly warped front disc (ie the disc is catching the pads, and making a noise) or you have a slightly sticking caliper and the pads are again toughing slightly.

Or it could just be your pads, main squel a lot epspecially after the abuse i give them.

Nothing to worry about like that, best way to check if they are touching a lot is to after a long'ish drive is to compare the temp's of your wheels with your hand (carefull here the fronts can get v. hot) and compare them, if one is much hotter than the othrs then that one is sticking.
 
Have you tried deglazing the pads? that normally gets rid of squeaky breaks, would cost next to nothing to do and the Marea fund would be well in tact if it was something nice and simple like a quick deglaze;)
