Annoying Squeaking Noise

Hello all,

Hope you can help me. Over the past few weeks, a on and off squeaking noise has started coming from the front of the car. From a rough guess it sounds like its coming from the front passenger side. Its not loud but is noticeable.

Anyone have an ideas on whats causing it?

Cheers

    Yeah, mine does sound more metal sounding, but its difficult to describe.

    Is it all the time or when you turn your steering wheel ? Also how worn are your pads and discs ?

    Its mostly on and off, sometimes it'll make it and sometimes it will be quiet when driving.

    Its a 2011 with 27k miles, so I'm guessing the they are still the original discs?

    Had a MOT and Service back in August 2013

    I think its mostly at any time, not just turning.
