My C5 makes a terrible screeching noise as it comes to a halt as I brake.
It seems worse when the weather is dry. It has done about 35000 miles. There are no warnings that the pads are worn. Can anybody suggest what the fault might be and how i could solve it? JSGJ

It may well be due to corrosion between the aluminuim caliper and the suspension arm as found on Xantia's, I've recently heard of this becoming an issue on C5's.
The corrosion causes the caliper to sit at an angle and the pads to wear unevenly causing a squeal in the process. For further details/pictures the following link (in French) gives good detail. http://activaclubfrance.free.fr/Entreti ... Xantia.pdf
