Hi guys, car was services by vx a few weeks back. Brakes advised fine.
But approx 3-4mths ago when under heavy braking they make a loud groaning noise and seems to be when hot.
Was wondering if I need to replace the copper grease on the pads?
Will this cause this type of noise or is the grease to stop just squeezing?
Felt the discs and they are not marked at all

Grease is used to stop squeaking and sticking.

I'd pop it into somewhere that does free break checks (avoid kwik fit etc).
