An Old Problem Comes Back.

[zilli]

ok so I was driving about 9 miles to pick up my better half the other night. I got within a mile and my front nearside brake stayed on. Drove to the pivkup point and reversed in and the brake went off... kewl I thought... Got halfway home and the same thing happened only this time the brake won't come off any more... Any ideas???? She has pads that are about 6months old on there... The calipers seem fine enough.....
