I assume this is my breaks binding? I bought new discs and pads but theres pleanty of life int he old ones yet but I'd like to stop them squeeling and binding.
Whats the best way to start with this issue?

Brakes
At low speeds I get a squeeling from my breaks and also when I turn left. If I accelerate or break it goes. Also when I break lightly it squeels.

Re: Brakes
I corrected the subject spelling for you Bailes! 
May be worth filing a chamfer on the pads?

Re: Brakes
Remove pads, check the calipers slide ok on the pins, clean everything up and shove it back together with copper grease on moving parts (pins, squeal plates etc. not the friction material on the pads or disks!!!)

Re: Brakes
Put a chamfer on the wife's Omega's pads. Squeals under braking no longer! Therefore I deem the filing to be a Top Tip™.
