squealing brakes is normally due to the pads sticking/vibrating in the callipers or glazed pads and disks. best off removing the pads, giving them a quick sand to remove any glazing, give were they sit in the caliper a good scrape to remove any crud and then popping the pads back in with some copper grease on the backs and were they sit in the callipers.

Definitely worth doing I'd say, and as above the minispares own 7.5" coopers calipers and discs are excellent value.

Because a majority of them are 'repair' panels that are oversized to fit over the top of existing rusty panels. What are you having trouble with then?
