which bit would i need.?

[michaelsyer]

I am assuming it will be wheel bearing from what people have told me in the pass. When im driving for long periods of time there is a high pitch squeel. It stops when i break but starts again once i release the break. This is about as much info as i can give on the idea ha.

If it stops whne you brake, then it's likely to be the brakes binding/catching. I'd do a full inspection of the discs and pads, strip and clean, replace an worn bits and try again.

yeah do as chris says, it could be a simple as a bit of debris stuck in between the pad and disc.

i shall let the garage know, it has an mot next week so ill ask him if he can take breaks apart and have a look. cheers!

The brakes on these cars need servicing annually.
