Ok, found the old ones. The old ones were combo of Shimano and unknown and they both squealed, the new ones are cheap Lifeline organic pads that must've worked for a bit without squealing.
I have new Metal Lifeline ones too but I don't want to fit them if it's something like the brake calipers leaking oil. ie. I don't want to keep feeding this thing brake pads.
Seems to be a darker sheen on them now. So I presume the second set of pads is contaminated somehow and putting the same crap on the disc. How many pads do you throw at this problem before throwing the lot in the bin?
