brake pads need replacing

dust is usually the problem,wash out calipers(let dry before driving)

just needs a bit of copper grease in the right places. but if ur not car aware i wouldn't do it urself
needs the front wheels removing - brakes dissassembling, then cleaning up and putting back together. local garage will do it nice and easy. i've just done mine. runs like a dream now!

Get the brakes checked hun. cant take any chances with them ! Theyre probably have low pad wear now.
