hi all ive just got myself a series 3 (at last) the prob ive got is the brakes work ok for drums but every now and then they will stick on when it happens you need to go under the bonnet release the master cylinder then its ok has any body else had this happen. the brakes was overhauled 6 months ago thanks shaun

Lucy1978:
Sounds like a dodgy master cylinder

totally agree, but check the springs anyway

Paul Woodward:
The pushrod on the master cylinder is probably adjusted wrong, not allowing the piston to come right back.
Adjust the two nuts on the pushrod so you have some free play.
