Was driving home this evening (my first journey over about 5miles since ive got it back on the road) and noticed that my car seemed to be holding back when off the throttle,even in neutral, everytime i braked the car pulled slightly to the right.
Got home and the passenger side front caliper absolutly reeks and was very hot.
Is it possibly to unstick it, or am i going to need another?
Cheers.

Could be a colapsed flexi hose, mine had these symptoms and when I removed the calipers they weren't stuck and I was told it could've been the hoses

Best removed, stripped and the piston cleaned with fine emery if possible, if not a new piston will be required!

Had to drive it this morning before i got a chance, seems to have fixed itself, no dodgy pulling to the side, and wasnt hot when i got to my destination
I'll keep an eye on it i think
