it could be the handbrake cables sticking, so the cables arent returning all the way when you let it off so the brakes bind abit. id get it checked cos if the brake fluid gets hot you will have no pedal

Looks really good that Mav, would look even better without the vents but as you said you will sort them as soon as you can

my brakes jam continually, only freeing by jacking up, hitting the back of the hub with a large hammer and down again.,.. i had them blown out ages ago and it reoccured.

i decided the best way to sort it was to get rid of the corsa!
