Can you help please. I have a brake problem when travelling along I have a whistling sound coming from the front offside wheel (UK location)When I brake the same wheel squeels very loudly, almost screams. after a few miles the disk/roter is almost red hot& at times has been. Obviously the pads are not releasing from the disk/roter properly.Can anyone give me some pointers on what is wrong? Thanks in advance. Bosun

I am not an expert, but I think your caliper has seized. Adam
As Adam says,seized caliper.Just done one on the wife`s car.Easy job to do but you will need a 7mm allen key.You only replace the half with the piston on it.As usual local Volvo agent didn`t have one but got exchange one from local factors for about £48+vat. regards,Mark.
