Minus temperatures - Wheel help needed!

[Tracy_Troots]

Hi
I'm looking for some help, for the past two mornings when I've started my car, the rear wheel that has been hit by frost overnight won't budge - I've been scared to drive it frankly for fear of damaging the wheel, but don't know what the problem might be .... an ideas? As you might have gathered, I know next to nothing about cars, but I LOVE my Sport, and I've missed it the past couple of mornings! When I got home tonight and warmed the beast up the wheels seemed fine ....
Thanks in advance .....

Release handbrake before driving away.

Your handbrake is sticking on.

Leave the handbrake off next time and just leave it in gear and you'll be fine.

Really???? Why would that happen - the handbrake sticking on I mean? Is it something I need to get looked at or just symptomatic of the low temperatures?

Ha ha bloody ha ....

Could me numerous reasons. The caliper could be binding causing it to get hot and sticking, there could be moisture in there and its freezing overnight. Won't be able to tell until its looked at really.

But in the meantime, just leave the handbrake off and in gear.
