Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I've done some searches but can't find something that fits this exactly. I have a squeak from the driver's side of the car audible when the wheels are rotating. It seems to be one squeak per wheel rotation. If I apply the handbrake gently whilst driving it stops but will return within a few seconds when the handbrake is released. It is more prominent when the wheel is laterally loaded. Any ideas on where to start diagnosing this please?
There is a small guide bracket within the handbrake assembly where the handbrake cable enters via its tube - the very corners/edges of the bracket can sometimes contact lightly with the inside face of the drum section of the disk. More typically when everything is warm/hot. Rocking the car either forward or backward (depending on the side of the noise) lightly on the handbrake temporarily repositions the bracket allowing complete clearance. Unbolt the calliper and and remove the disk - this will then allow you to grind 1-2mm off the corners/edges with a dremel - that will effectively solve the issue. I performed this on the drivers side of my own car, but still need to repeat the same on the nearside as I can currently occasionally hear a very faint "chirp" from that side .
