Hi, I tried to pull away this morning and my car wont move. The front end
seems to start to pull away (making the rear of the car dip) but it just
wont budge.
I haven’t moved the car in just over a week and the weather has been
quite warm. I tried putting the car in neutral and pushing it, but it
still wont move. I wanted to try to reverse to see if that worked any
better but someone has parked right up my arse (as usual) so that’s not
an
option until they move. I figure something has seized but that’s just a
guess.

Handbrake is seized on the rear wheels.
In future, don't leave the handbrake on if you're leaving it for more than a few
hours - just leave the car in gear instead.

Thanks, I discounted the handbrake as I have managed to pull away with it
on before, but if its seized I guess that could be it, How do I unseize
it?

I bought and xnd recently from a garage - the ex-owner had sold it to
the garage as the back axle had siezed somehow - the only repair was a
replacement axle which the garage salvaged from another scrap 106. I
don't know how common this is on 106's and I hope your problem isn't
similar but its just a thought ??
