Wheels seizing up when car not used for a few days

Before you park it, get some heat into the disks (left foot brake for a bit if you have to) and park with the handbrake left off. That used to work for me.

Did what you suggested yesterday Simon and it seems to have worked. Thanks. Only been sitting 24 hours right enough, but I'll do it again tonight when I come home and then probably won't be using the car until Thursday, so we'll see if it work for a few days too.

BTW, my left foot braking skills are, well, not the best!

Car has sat in the drive since Sunday and went to use it this morning. There was a teenyweeny bit of seizing up, but nothing like before, so thanks for the tips Simon! The heavy braking before leaving it in the drive definitely worked.
