squeek?
it only happens every now and again. ive done under 1000 miles on the discs and pads as I bought them brand new when I fitted the 306 callipers
also my light flickers although everything has been working fine for about 3 months, has been doing it since I fitted the brakes...
but they work perfect
only happens now and again

Sometimes in the morning, if the brakes are cold and might be wet or damp they will squeek, mine do it sometimes I don't take any notice to be honest.

Did you copper grease the back of the pads? i fitted new rear pads last year but we didnt have any copper grease (at hotel night before FCS) so mine squeak now and again.

Its just grit in between the pad and the disk.The best way to get rid of it is just get an air gun in a petrol station and just blow in between the disk and the pad and it should sort it out or as said they could just be cold
