'91 Disco, dual line, seems to squeal 50 kms into a trip. Any reason for this/easy fix? Saw that the later model had springs over the pins but mine doesnt.

Should look so thing like this GenuineĀ® - Land Rover Discovery 1994-1998 Brake Pad Shim (http://www.carid.com/1998-land-rover-discovery-brake-parts/item-8899058.html)

I assume its the rear makeing the noise it normally is and yes there should be spreader springs on the main pins holding the pads in. But at the end of the day if the pads are crap matrial it won't stop the noise
