Mine squeeks over rough roads, especially when hot. I'm half way to Corsica at the mo and even went under the car with a tin of WD40 this morning to try and find the culprit. The garage said it was probably the HID headlight adjuster but I don't think I can get to that with my squirty can. What about roll bar bushes-do they sometimes squeek? This noise certainly is VERY annoying.

Thanks for your reply Billy now get back to that fine driving down to Corsica fella, how cool! It's not so much annoying as worrying, squeaks are usually the first warning sign of something, so until I know what it is I am always a little uneasy.

I suspect the problem is the rear pads, it has developed further now, and now I only hear the noise when applying brakes, and I can hear the metal rubbing against the rust parts of the disk. So new brakes on HONDA OEM pads on the rear tomorrow (assuming they have them in stock - rears currently have Ferodo's on at the minute) and hopefully all will be quiet again.

I bet your pads are OK and that they are just dirty. My motorcycle squeeks dreadfully and the S had a little sq-sq-sq- yesterday which went as soon as I touched the brakes. I think its just dust and dirt and possibly old discs with rough bits. If you can afford new discs and pads is the way to go if they are any sort of age. Just to make you feel better its p***** down here now and the French seeem intent on suicide on the motorways in driving rain and spray. At least we don't have far to go now although I spent 2Es washing the car which was a waste of money!
