 I reckon one of my calipers has seized , but to be sure does anyone know what symptoms are likely to occur from that ??The car judders when braking and trys to go left ! the brake set up was new about 6mnths ago (pads and discs) surely they cant be worn already ? there is also a rather bad smell after a few miles driving !! cheers

Is the brake assembly really hot after alot of driving? If it is and youve got a strong smell comin off, then the caliper is probably seized. You can also check the pads and compare them to the other side; depending on how long the caliper has been failing you'll see a difference in the amount of pad material left.
