Check your previous work - especially the handbrake cable to the caliper isn't fowling anyway.

The calipers do fail on a regular basis but normal that's because the bootie has been damaged and the piston gets corroded causing them to stick.

100% getting it checking out - booked in a Midlands VW along with full service.

Just trying to see if it could have been anything I had done......checked everything all looks A1. Has to be a caliper or handbrake cable.
