What d'ya think it was, a rubber bush?
I normally (not have done yet) soak all my rubber bushes etc with a spray grease when the weather gets hot and dry.

had another look today as i put some copper grease on and around the hub, think ive found the problem looks and sounds like its the pad against the disc so maybe later on in the year i will get them changed .

also i got a bit annoyed with the armrest that the v6s have and its much better now its been removed.
