    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.

    I am not an expert, but I think your caliper has seized.

    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.
