Sir Henry Member 7 Member For: 16y 3m 12d Posted 19/11/08 04:35 AM Share Posted 19/11/08 04:35 AM G'day All - I purchased a '06 BF MkII XR6T in August 2008 - Silhoutte 6 Speed Manual.New to this site, which seems very confusing......so many categories!!Can anyone tell me what can be done about squealing brakes? By squealing, I mean ALL the time. I have contacted Ford and they have said nothing can be done about it. All of the threads I have found on here apply to pre '04 models.Does anyone have an idea of what can be done?I'm gonna try and replace the whole shebang under new car warranty soon if all else fails.....I'm really pissed off.Thanks!
