Hi all took mine out for its 1st proper drive ( 1st time out since november ) and for the 1st 5 mins the front brakes ( n/s/f mainly )were quite stuck on , they are AP 4 pots , and then they freed themselves , any one else have this niggle when left for a bit ??

If i was you, i would take out all your pads, clean them up and the caliper and the dust covers, then copper grease the edges of the pads and anything else that needs to move.

folks tend to wash thier cars just before putting them away for the winter. I suggest wash it, then take it out for a good drive on dry roads far enough to get everything good and hot this was any moisture from the wash job should be gone. Happy car. Lee

Just take it out for a good drive and use the brakes. Best way to clean them up

Had a good look tonight and it turns out it is the front master cylinder sticking , stripped it down and freed , but think for the cost of them ill chuck two new ones on with a good flush through of new fluid
