| | Hi, I released both bleed nipples on each calliper and the pistons in the callipers pushed back freely, bled the brakes, drove the car again for about one mile and they bound on again. I slackened both brake pipe unions into the master cylinder, the brakes released and the car could be pushed freely. |

| I have thought of this, but what are the chances of both hoses collapsing at the same time? Thanks for your help just can't get my head round it  |

| | Are you 100% sure the rear brakes are not partially applied as well? Has the master cylinder pushrod clearance been checked? Merv the Swerv. |

| | . Could it not be that the pads are simply rusted into the slides?

| This is an odd one, sounds like an ABS pump issue.
