I recently bought a used ba 03 xr6t and now at low speeds, say coming up to lights or turning a corner/cruising the maccas drive through the loud squeeky noise comes from my car, at first I thought it was my break pads but theyre fine.. any ideas???

Is it from the rear?

Sounds like the park brakes. Try driving along at low speed with the windows down and modulate the park brake application to see if it stops/changes the sound. If so doing this will usually offer temporary relief, otherwise it's a case of pulling it apart and re-calibrating.

it does it even without my foot on the break... im not the most mechanically minded person and wouldn have a clue how to calibrate it.. should I take it to a mechanic?

The park brakes use a separate drum brake setup - so it would be independent of your foot brake. Best bet would be to get someone to have a look at it to at least confirm it's nothing more serious than an annoying sound if nothing else.

I.e. could be the beginnings of an axle bearing giving up
