Typical. Cut costs getting a Fabia vRS for the weekly miles so I can enjoy the Scoob more at the weekends. So after my first week of diesel driving hop in to the Scoob and guess what, the ruddy brakes have siezed, or something like that, won't budge

I've only had it parked up for a week, any ideas? It feels just like the hand brake is on. Grr.

If the brakes are locked on take the handbrake off and jerk the car forward or get someone to rock it back and fore.

Hope this makes sence

agree.done that to my old 4x4 sierra years ago. rocking it back and fro done the trick.

I tried switching from reverse to first but it made no odds. I'm off up to Glasgow for a few days so will get a friend to help rock it when I'm back. It's been very wet and the discs have got a fair bit of crud built up on them. To make matters worse I'm parked inches away from a wall so can't really push forward

I even double checked that someone hadn't put a few bricks behind the tyres, was April Foll's yesterday!

Thanks for the ideas!

PS. Must add that driving the vRS isn't that much of a hardship, surprisingly good.
