Car wouldn't move today after work. Couple of presses on the brake pedal and all was fine.

If i keep pressing the brake pedal I can hear a strange noise from the passenger footwell.

I reckon its seized or needs bleeding?

Thanks

Have you checked the condition of disc and pads? My mates e36 was the same as you described and both where shot.

Could be a knackered rubber line at the affected corner.
