Car Forum / Jaguar Cars / October 2005XK8 Front Brakes DRAGGING
Excluding calipers, what could hold pressure in the braking system to the point of making the front brakes drag enough to feel. When the system is cooled down and you open a bleeder, brake fluid shoots out under pressure. The calipers retract smoothly with the bleeders open.

I have seen it happen on two vehicles. Pretty easy to check and replace generally.
