Warped discs?

more than likely a bit of salt or grit stuck between the disc and pad.

I've checked the brakes, taken the wheel out replaced the bearings and cleaned every thing down. the squeaking is still there. so i took it to my local garage and they were baffled at first.
it turns out that the speedo drive is knackered from the winter spell and is the cause of the squeaking they cleaned ond oiled it but they said if the squeak comes back, the speedo drive needs replacing.
where can i get a speedo drive which works with a UK model mph clock
and how much
thanks
