Tried taking the bike out after new year, and couldn't even move the bike without a lot of effort, front brakes binding!!! After freeing it by pushing back and forward several times and a slowwwwwww ride, decided to strip the calipers down. Have cleaned all, found several fecked seals so ordered new and just need to install them. Pics as below!!

Exactly same happened to my C2. Including the dust seals popping out and not able to push the pistons back.
Cleaned it all up and refitted all the same seals, including O-rings and it was fine.

Yeah to be honest am not too impressed with them either, may think of changing them!!! Was a bit strapped for cash at the time.
