Hi
I haven't driven my S2 111S Elise for a month or so ... and came to take it out this morning and the brakes are stuck.
Any tips for un-sticking?
Paul

Drive back and forward until they release.

If its the handbrake that's stuck, you can give the calliper arm a wee upwards tap with a hammer to release it. If its rust build up, 4K rom and dump the clutxh

As others have said.
Give some revs -it should free eventually.
Once you get them freed, you should take it up to speed and stamp on the brakes a few times to clean them up (make sure nobody's behind you first
).
If you're parking up for a long time, probably best to leave it in gear with the handbrake off.
PS Nice colour

Thanks, a bit a rocking back and fwd sorted it.
Took it for a spin to give the brakes a scrub.
