    What can cause the brakes to stick on , and it was two wheels on one side sticking as they both were hot and holding back the van slightly then freed themselfs again
     
  2. brake hoses if they're failing internally can hold the brakes on!!

    bit odd for 2 on the same side of the van though!!

    could smell them so stopped in garage , will take off and have a look as they are crap brakes
     
  4. he is right, both on different systems very odd...

    Jack the front wheel up ,push the brake ,then try to turn...

    if it sticks on ,undo the brake nipple ,if it still does not turn ,it`s the caliper cylinder sticking...

    if it does turn it`s the brake flexi,the m/c ot the brake pedal return...
