Rear Disks Sticking

[Neil16v]

Hi, i have jst bought a 16v clio it has been sat with the handbrake on for a while so the rear disks are sticking a bit. Does anyone know a way of solving this problem ? Thanx!!

I had the same problem with mine. Especially when it was cold and damp or after Id washed the car. I ended up stripping and cleaning the brakes and it hasnt happened since, touch wood.

i get it in my 182 after i wash it or after crappy weather - you could remove the discs and clean them up (rub with emery paper and clean with Meths) if its really bad but theyll clean themselves as you use them to some extent.
