Question Braking when clutch dipped

For some reason while at low speeds when clutch is dipped car brakes, not all the time just some of the time, anyone else had this?

Maybe your brake pads are sticking , that's why you don't notice it at speed

Check for a sticking caliper ( or as in my case get a garage to do so). If so you'll find the brake disc of the side that u suspect will be a lot hotter than the other side.
I had this on my previous Outback and now twice ( the past week) on my Hawkeye! Today after 20 mins driving iI couldnt touch my NS disc as it was burning hot .
Getting p***ed off having to take it to the garage Thursday and fighting to get the part replaced free rather than just freed up!
