or do both brakes stick.
if they're sticking, bleeding won't help.
sounds more like the pads are not seated correctly in the caliper, or maybe the pads are too thick - what make are the new ones?
I have a sticky caliper on my tourer, works fine most of the time (and when I've stripped & checked it)
but when braking hard and often like in heavy motorway traffic it gets hot and smokey
I saw another J drive into our local asda carpark with a smoking front brake - so it looks like its not just mine!
Pads are genuine Vauxhall GM.
Your post summed it up, it was actually during heavy breaking on motorway yesterday morning. When I drove it again on the way back, I didnt brake as heavy and they didnt stick. Could they just be bedding in as they are new?
