Ok, running along when everything is nice and hot and I get a squeaking from the front OS, if I apply just alittle pressure ( not enough to break the van ) the squeaking goes. Then comes back again, really annoying. Any suggestions ?.
Doesn't do it on short runs, just when all the moving bits are nicely warmed up.
squeak squeak what is it ?

Sounds like a sticky brake caliper to me, coincidently i have just put 2 new calipers on mine today as it had been doing it for quite a while, you may get lucky if you take the caliper off and free it off, it worked on mine for a while.........

Hi Mine used to do exactly the same when hot - d
I lubricated the caliper pistons - working them in and out (with the pads in situ) and replaced the front pads.
Hope this helps
