And yes we need the OP to clarify if we are going to have any chance of helping him/her.
I ask all these questions because I have had both squeaks and squeals (and especially graunching) from the brakes on many cars including all three of my Jags and depending on the answers to those questions the 'fix' is different.

All three of my Jags (and no other car I ever owned) when on stock/factory/OEM pads "graunched" just as I was coming to a stop. Every single time and worse with cold brakes. Much more of a grinding graunch than a squeak though.
The fix for me was to replace the incredibly dusty stock pads with ceramic pads, and on the F-Type to replace them with Porterfield R4S "carbon kevlar" pads.
The F-Type still graunched a little but a couple of months ago I thought I fixed it by removing the front pads and slathering the backs and ends of the pads (where they sit in the calipers) with brake grease. That killed the graunch sure enough but it didn't last, the first time I drove in the rain it came back, not as bad as before but still there.
