Rear Brake

[Robbsey]

I had a problem with my offside rear brake caliper sticking on and the the brake disc turning blue.

New caliper fitted with discs and pads and its still doing it, any ideas.

Sticking handbrake cable.

Sorry forgot to mention cable is moving freely

what car do you have? have you fitted the handbrake return springs?

[Robbsey]

Fabia VRS 06

Yes handbrake return springs fitted

[JWvrs25]

was it a brand new calliper fitted?

[Robbsey]

yes brand new

[JWvrs25]

hmmm, im not sure then its very strange unless the wheel bearing may have some play?? although not sure if that would cause the caliper to drag

[Robbsey]

just been looking again, wheel is spinning fairly freely when cold, brakes applied and release ok but seems to bind when vehicle has been run for a few miles

In that case change the brake fluid.
