Ok, just been out and pulled apart my brakes, gave them a clean out whilst i was there, and noticed the spring clip on the top of the inner pad was partly broken, just 2 metal stalks left! lol, so i bent them a little to try and sit better in the caliper, put it all back together and took it for a test drive, and the noise has at last stopped!! so tommorow im gunna go buy a new set of pads! wahey me. lol

Well they were partially correct, they were asked to locate the noise (i cudnt afford to get the possible work done) just wanted to know where it was comin from so i cud look myself. :D
