Default Brakes Seizing...

Hi Guys,

Had real problems last night getting the scooby out the garage. It had been sat there happily covered up for a week, and when I went to move her - she wouldn't budge!

The car rocked, but didn't move... Hence alot more revs and flooring it, but nope, not budging...

Cue smell of burning clutch as I give even more revs to try and free her up (after tapping calipers with rubber mallet I might add).

Eventually after 10mins of high rev launches to try and get her moving - BANG - and off she goes...

Now my garage isn't damp or wet, and car wasn't washed and then put away e.t.c.

Not sure if it was handbrake sticking, or rear calipers, but def something from the rear and both sides...

Any common faults or what should I be looking for?

Ryan
