Yes, they've not fitted/adjusted the epb shoes properly or you have a separate calliper issue, but the squeal indicates EPB. Bodsys Brake Bible

You can quite often get the small L shaped wedge where it doesn't sit in the right position on one of the shoes. You need to tap it back so that the spreader isn't forcing them apart too much.

Garage is now saying the actuator is fooked apparently one week after new discs and pads fitted, we have always used the epb for a year with no issues at all, not sure if they did something wrong or didnt wind off the handbrake, looks like another big bill coming my way |

It can be repaired if they can be bothered. I suspect that they didn't adjust the epb properly, causing the actuator to over extend and POP!

when the wife put the epb on this morning she said it was making a loud noise and didnt stop so she turned the car off,im assuming this is when the damage was caused, it took 25 minutes after that to get it to come off |

If they did screw it up, don't let them go and screw up your new module.

The damage may have happened then but it was probably caused at the point they adjusted it. Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK
