as mentioned above, the flexi hoses can deteriorate internally and act as a one way valve
The wheels can't be turned freely when in the air, you really have to force them, both sides.

One thing I forgot to mention is that when bleeding the rear calipers hardly any fluid at all came out at all, could that be a sign of a collapsed hose?

Is there anyway I can diagnose whether or not a hose is at fault other than taking the current ones off?

I'll try and find out abit more info on the gearbox, pretty sure that it's a CTS stage 1 box with no diff but will find out to be sure.
