Our facelift roadster has developed a binding front brake drivers side, after a good run, i jacked up car and could hardly turn the wheel , was really hard to turn and looks like it has worn pads down, my wife drives the car so i was unaware of the problem until today, before i take a closer look, the car brakes in a straight line , so i am presuming sticking/seized slider pins ?, any advice appreciated.

Yes, mine stuck very slightly, same wheel.  After giving it a good clean, etc, it did it again and I ended up buying a new caliper.  Some may choose to have them refurbished but I suspect mine was the original so decided on a brand new one.
Ex owners of Chilli red facelift 52 reg called Chilli, silver 55 reg called Foxy and blue pfl W reg MR-S called Sapphire. Now 2 less!

I greased mine up with ceratex and it sorted them out.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
