    Ok so recently ive had my brake pads done as they were pretty much gone, while i was waiting for them to be done and i was driving the car around , when i stopped at a junction and went to go it felt as if the brakes were still on and could only go very very slowly off. i now have the brake pads done brand new and its still happening? ive a feeling its the callipers but im not sure, any ideas?


    (its also like trying to take off with the handbrake up slightly, and the brakes feel solid to press on when braking and its stops very quickly, Just trying to explain as muh as possible.)

    This could simply be the fact there still wearing in. When i re did mine, they rubbed against the new disc for a few miles then they sorta wore off together and now there fine. However could be a more drastic issue.
