Honda Accord Brake Squeak
It happens when the brakes are cold - and when the car is coming to a halt. It's getting worse - the front pads were replaced recently, the rear discs and pads replaced last year.
Any ideas - it can' be anything worn?

The pad change gives the clue. You need to put some anti-squeal paste on the backs of the pads. A smear of copper grease works well; I have even used a smear of 'Hylomar Blue' with success!

I'm surprised - the brakes have done 3500 miles already and it's only now they've started making the noise.

In that case, probably a build up of brake dust. Give each wheel a good hosing out with water and then go for a drive to dry out the brakes afterwards - remembering that your brakes may not be so efficient until they're dry.

What brand of brake pads was used during the change?
Got a part number? That might help identify them.
