At low speeds when I set off or release the handbrake it makes a really bad screeching noise and it's irritating me also the brakes have gone really corroded and beginning to rust do I take it to the dealer's or someone help me as in what to do?

It'll only be surface rust on the wheel hub, nothing to do with the brakes at all, and its purely cosmetic. It's just a natural occurrence due to the material it is made from. It will not affect the integrity of the car at all.
Regarding the brake squeal, then if it is that annoying then haveca word with your dealer.

Copper grease on some of the brake parts, thats about all. Sometimes it helps, sometimes not.

I had my corroded rear brake discs replaced under warranty. Depends if it's on the braking surface or the hub.

Loads of stuff on here about it if you do a search first..........
