I have searched for this topic but i couldnt find an answer and im a bit concerned although it might be nothing....Everytime i drive my 2 the it seems as the the wheels have seized up, even if i only leave it for a few hours so when i do drive off the wheels seem to judder or stick (hard feeling to explain) as if it hadnt been drove for weeks and it only does it for a couple meters, any answers please ?   s:? :? s:?

try parking it on the flat, leaving it in gear and leave the handbrake off, see if it does it after leaving it like that for a few hours... might be something to do with the back calipers not releasing fully or something? of course, I ain't exactly renowned for my mechanical expertise, so it could be something much much worse!   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:    s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  

as long as you live somewhere where no-ones gonna push it away off course!   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

You will normally find it does that if the discs have got wet/damp, the calipers tend to stick, I was trying to push reverse my car down the drive the other day and it refused to budge and that had happened. The MR2 did it alot - discs looking all rusty, it appears to be normal.
ex-TTE Turbo, now Freelander Sport, its not a car its a Landrover!
