Finally found out what was causing the squeeking noise I had been having from the front drivers side wheel. It has had new cv joint, new discs and pads, and endless amounts of time trying to find the source of the noise. Today I removed the pads, discs calipers and carriers. Then whilst turning the hub noticed the backing plate was ever so slightly bent and was catching on one small side. Straightened this out and put everything back together and now I can open the window without the noise doing my head in. This car has been into three garages trying to find this problem and finally it is ME that has sorted it  :smiley: :smiley:
