About to drive to France on Wednesday in my 21 plate Toureno Custom. I think i have a slightly sticking rear right brake - I took it to fill the tank this evening and the rear right brake was getting hot / i could hear a slight squeak.

I'm happy to whip the wheel off myself (I've a bottle jack and some axle stands - assumed that would do that job) - is there anything I can do to sort it?

How bad is it to drive on it? Will be doing 4 hour stints as we're going place to place.

Is there such a thing as an emergency mechanic to come out? (Near Newbury?)

If handy with the spanners whip it off and give it a good clean up, this should last the trip but will most likely need replacing at some point, new Mustangs use the same rear callipers and fail for fun, once cleaned up leave it in gear when parked if you can instead of using the handbrake
