Brakes stuck

[Phil Hayward]

Has anybody had the brakes stick on, I had the yellow hill hold on, brakes did not release on pressing the throttle. Lots of error messages, didn't make a note
it was -3 C and I had not driven for a month.
Tried it on my drive, works OK now.

We had a similar situation on our Gen 1 ZS EV when suddenly one Friday morning, the handbrake on our car, would NOT release at all on the rear passengers side.
It was locked absolutely solid and failed to release !.
The guy from the A A arrived at our home address and after doing some checks, established that the handbrake motor or calliper spline had stripped out.
He removed the handbrake motor and released the brake.
Straight off to the nearest local dealer.
They had the car for about three days short of a month, while awaiting a new motor and complete brake calliper.
Total price of the part around £160.00 and about one hour of labour I would think.
Car hire for that period, about £1,500.00.
