recently if i've left the car parked for a day or two, when first pulling away it seems as if the brakes have stuck to the discs and can take a bit of force to pull away, at first i just put it down to the cold weather but it's still doing it now the temp has went up, the front pads are needing changed which i will get done this week but was just wondering if it could be a more serious and pricey problem, also when i got the mot done i was told that the brake pipes are needing done but he said on a scale of 1-10, 10 being worst they were a 2 so it wasn't bad at all,
thanks in advance

which brake pipes metal or flexy, the pads sticking to discs should be ok with new pads, or was it the rear shoes(handbrake) sticking

change pads and clean calipers, wire brush metal pipes and paint with shuts, flexy pipes must be changed for new and brakes will need bleeding, if you can bleed brakes you shoul be ok

Flexi pipes are around £8 / £9 each new from a Pug dealer.
