Hi

my wife has a 2007 mx5 2.0 sport and just recently the brakes have started binding on when the car is left overnight.

After a bit of accelaration to get moving in the mornings everything then seems fine.

Question is, is this normal or should I be worried?

Are they really binding or is it just a bit of rust on the disks (which IS normal)?

A bit of rust on the discs wouldn't require 'some acceleration' before becoming free, though! Not unless they've been left for some time.
