Seem to have a squeaking noise coming from what sounds like handbreak area. It seems to be related to the speed of the wheels not the revs, as i get fast the squeak does and slower ect. Also when i turn left it goes and then when i turn right it comes back. Any clue? Could be hand break related? Or is there some else down there spinning?
Thanks for your advice.

Re: Squeaking?
Mouse....... sorry, couldn’t resist.
Have you tried lifting the hand brake slightly to see if there is a difference.

Re: Squeaking?
There's nothing that rotates near the handbrake. As mentioned above it's most likely to be driveshaft/CV related and the noise is just radiating down the tunnel.

Re: Squeaking?
I see you posted up on "facecloth" a video with the noise, sounds like metal on metal scrapping to me, I guess it's something to do with the exhaust if it's near the handbrake, there's a few heat shields down there so perhaps an exhaust rubber hanger has broken and the exhaust is rubbing on a metal heat shield.
Get the car in the air and wobble the exhaust around to see/hear if it's hitting anything.
The only other things which can move down there is the gear stick linkage or handbrake cables so if no joy with the exhaust have a look at those...
