 Hi all, new to your forum.

Just bought a 2016 grand picasso and it's great.....

However, when I brake hard the brakes are fantastic but when I'm coming to a slower stop (coming up to traffic lights etc) the brakes seem to slightly bind and then un-bind on and off until I'm stopped

Please can somebody advise

 Sticking caliper?

Are the wheels hot after a run?
Jack up each wheel in turn and spin it, try the brakes off and on a few times when spinning it.

 I've not looked to see if they are hot, I will check that and also Jack it up. Thank you for your reply

 Depends, you can remove the pistons and either clean or replace them, but easiest way is to buy a refurbished caliper
