 Vauxhall Astra H estate - 07 1.3 Intermittent high-pitched screech - Haywain
Over the past few months, I've noticed a high-pitched screech coming from, I believe, the area of the off-side rear wheel. It seems to happen when the car has done a few miles and has warmed up; it can get quite loud and, at that point, the best cure is to shut the windows and turn up the radio.

I wondered if it could be a piece of grit jammed in the brakes (?) but, the strange thing is that the frequency of pitch does not vary with speed. For that reason, I had discounted a problem with the wheel bearing as well.

Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers H
