Have a 2001 2.5 V6 Freelander on which the offside front wheel has started to get very hot. First thing I notice is a burning smell inside the cabin.. When I get out and check I find the wheel very hot to the touch (well can't really touch it!) Nearside wheel is cool, as are the rear.
Pour cold water on the wheel the resulting steam gives the same smell as in the cabin.
This seem to happen first journey of the day. Once it has cooled down it doesn't appear to reoccur and the wheel doesn't gete hot. Brake disc does but this is normal.
Anyone have any suggestions? Binding brake pad?
Cheers Geoff
