Do I'm back on the road ish.
I took her out for a quick spin today, just round the village to test everything.
When I stopped there was smoke coming from the back of the car. On closer inspection It looked like the grease on the driveshaft UJ was boiling!
I was pumping the brakes quite a bit to get the surface rust off the discs.
Has anyone seen this happen before?

Hi Stephen, if the brakes are binding they will get very hot.Mine boiled the brake fluid scary and lost the brakes eek.Maybe yours are binding on the one side and have got very hot.
Oh crap that's a bit scary! I shall investigate the brakes so.

Number 7 I've no idea why the exhaust is that way, was like that when I got the car. Did all wedge pipes go over?

Thanks for all the great info and suggestions guys. I took her for a quick relaxed drive this morning and checked the discs when I got back. The os disc was too hot to touch and the other was perfectly cool. I think that says it all, I'll have to whip em off and check them over.
