Ford Cargo brakes siezed ?

I went to start my ford cargo horsebox and i think the brakes have siezed, has anyone had this problem or do they not what to do?

hiya Pink Princess..
I take it the air pressure has the air built up properly?



air over hydraulic brake systems can be a nightmare and if the truck is left standing for long periods as i suspect your horsebox is you can get problems.....
seized calipers are common on the eurocargo's....but
don't rush out and buy new ones before you've
checked the master cylinder cos they sieze up too and
can cause brake binding and hot brakes

the good news is you can have the calipers re-manufactured for a fraction of the cost of new ones


good luck with it
