By "Sticky Pedal", do you mean that when you take your foot of the break pedal, the pedal fails to return properly to its starting position ?

Yes thats right!
It stays down as if i was still applying the brake but if i lift the pedal up with my foot it stays up and releses the brakes. :roll:

There is a big return spring on the pedal, chances are it has come lose or broken.
