I tryed to drive to see if they free up but the same side ways every were and back brakes started smokeing some times if you just pump the brakes hard or if on steep hill ( mates drive) if it will roll back stamp on the bracks hard they free up only sometimes though I def give you a shout when I get to the bottem of this

mine was doing it too bout a week ago.

I took the trim off and seen it was a bit loose anyway, so tightened it and was fine - had no probs since.

Bit weird tho

Yeap i get this aswell, as soon as the weather turns cold, the handbrake sticks on, but find its usually only on one side. This was pretty evident last night stuck on last night, disk got way too hot so stopped to throw a bit of snow on it to cool it down, was a bit of interesting driving before that, most corners i came to the car started to brake free into an over steering stiuation. But yeah it pisses you off when the handbrake sticks on when its cold weather.

that interesting i will have to have a look when weathers better and see if the cable sheath is in tacked no splits ect which may let excess water and moisture in
