Hello chaps.
Over the least 6/7 months the car has been off the road while we moved house.
Just gone to put her back on the move and she got a strange fault with the brakes.
After backing her out of the garage all was fine and if took her for a shake down.
The brakes where really stiff at first with no real movement in the pedal but they stopped the car.
But after a hundred yards or so the felt ok.
Then after a few minutes all 4 brakes started to fail to release.
Pumped the pedal but still stuck on.
After about a minute they released.
Got her home and run some tests and yep some time the just don't release for some time.
Im thinking master cylinder?
Anyone had any experience with this?

I would try getting 4 clamps and clamping the flexible hoses off, then release each one in turn and see if it shows which is at fault Wayne.
