Or could just be that the Pagid pads aren't as good as they used to be
 How much of a lip was on the disc when you replaced the pads?

I bought a set of pads for my Range Rover last year, they squealed like a pig being slaughtered, removed them and applied more copper grease, no change. I finally bought another set of pads and not had a problem since.
Sometimes you can be unlucky and buy pads that seem to be noisy, best speak with ECP as there will be a warranty with them...

I think I'm suffering a bit of this at the moment. The car's steering feels slightly heavier than usual and when I stop the car, occasionally the front N/S wheel feels hotter than the rest and there is an awful stink coming from it. There is noticeably more brake dust on that wheel that on the front O/S. Brake performance feels normal otherwise, but I know something is not quite right.
There seem to be a few local German car specialists in the area, and a few claiming to be Audi specialists. I doubt fixing a sticky calliper is really all that difficult but my trolley jack broke a few weeks ago, so I suspect taking it to a garage will be quicker and easier. Hopefully they won't have my eyes out for it!

I have the below garage in mind for sorting the issue. They are well known local VAG specialists, and they looked after my brother's tuned SEAT Leon Cupra R 225 when he had it. They're not too far away.
http://www.swiftmotorengineering.co.uk/find.html Someone on another forum recommended tapping the stuck brake assembly with a hammer. If I had a rubber hammer small enough to afford accuracy I may have been amenable to this idea. Any chance of it working? I can see the theory behind it, namely that it should dislodge the dirt stopping the calliper returning to it's usual position...

The problem with mine was that dirt had got attached to the sliders, the calliper was simply removed from the car and the sliders all cleaned up along with the calliper itself. The whole lot was then reassembled and tested, the amount of movement between it working and sticking is tiny, so I am not sure hitting it with a hammer will make much difference.

I think taking it to the local garage will be my best bit. I've seen people tapping brake assemblies with rubber mallets and rubber hammers before trying to free up seized parts. But I'd rather my pride and joy was running smooth minus the hammers!
