Brakes squeal when hot?
Not so long ago I changed commute routes and it now involves quite a lot of country driving which I fully expect to have an effect on brake and tyre wear.
Today I noticed my brakes started squealing, when applied, from halfway through the journey. The same thing happened on the way back - first half is fine. At the end of the journey I can feel the heat coming from the hubs, both front (discs) and back (drums).
I've already booked my car in to have new front pads, before I realised it was only happening halfway in, assuming that squealing was just the usual mechanism for letting me know the pads were worn (plus the fact I know they're needing to be done relatively soon anyway).
Any more likely causes that should have me cancelling/changing the service? The brakes still work 100%
Cheers,
