Vauxhall Corsa binding brakes

Is it front or rear brakes making noise ? Stripping down and cleaning out might clear noise provided pads , dics and shoes / drums are ok.

its from the front.thanks for responding

check front brakes for sticking calipers remove clean check brake pads and discs check rear brakes and check hand brake cabels are free and not sticking in guides on rear beam and check for frayed cabels best to apply grease to guides check wheel cylinders for sticking and leaks clean up drums adjust brake shoes and make sure hand brake is not set too tight

thanks roverman, my handbreak has just been tightened,its holding at one click.gonna loosen it now and see

needs a bit of slack in cable if you have people in back as suspension moves down with weight it can pull on handbrake cabels and cause brakes to bind this in turn can overheat the brake fluid which then causes brake failiure

i did as you say Roverman.no noise at all today.thanks a million

I am having difficulties starting my car. some times it starts straight away and sometimes after a number of attempts. i changed glow plugs before this problem.4000 miles after changing glow plugs is when I am having this problem.battery and alternator have been checked and are fine. help please.

Make sure you have the correct grade of oil in your car if the oil is to thick in will be hard to start in cold weather. Make sure the air filter is clean too.
