A "source" told me today the fix is to reverse the calipers so n/s to o/s but upside down. Then they only squeal going in reverse. Is that true? It seems a very MMC solution

And maybe new decals on the calipers? Or maybe you need slightly different pipes

If the calipers are turned upside down, and the bleed nipples are then at the bottom, bleeding becomes harder.
But if the pedal drops on starting the engine, it also suggests the servo is causing that effect. Maybe some air still in the system.
Whatever is going on, it needs looking at.

But I wonder if the kit adapts the calliper so that the bleed nipple is on the top?

I have found it occurs only when the wheel is turned at the maximum at slow speed ( 1gear).
Same max left or max right.it was not there before the correction for the squeal.
Tomorrow the garage will check with a plus four with the modification. If i release the wheel
A little the brakes come back.

It could be I guess a trapped pipe on full lock.
