Squeaking chirping Mondeo   
My 52 registration Mondeo has been plagued with squeaking / chirping
noises, usually when travelling at 50 - 70 mph on the motorway.  It
stops if I apply the slightest pressure to the brake pedal.  The car
has been in to the garage twice to have the rear calipers greased - and
that seemed to fix it - but the squeak has come back and the garage say
they can't find anything wrong this time.  It squeaked all the way to
work this morning, but when I felt around the wheels for heat, they
didn't seem that hot - not like they were time times before.  I think
the sound is coming from the front this time.  It makes exactly the
same noise.  Last night, parking outside my house, I think I heard a
squeak as the car rolled very slowly back into my space.  What could be
wrong?

Um, you don't have some small furry creature in your car somewhere do you? 
You would not be the first.
