when i go tmy car serviced they said everything was fine except the passenger front wheel was a little stiff to turn as the brakes were binding is this likely 2 caus eme any problems?if yes what r they and how do i sort it?

Will cause premature wear to the discs and pads, could also cause the car to pull to the left.
Take the brakes apart and clean/lube the sliders.

once you have done that, naturally copper crease the metal backing plate on the pads.

if it still binds.. you could be looking at master cylinder faults....
does the bnding get worse as the longer you drive??

if it does then that'll be the master cylinder.. the hotter the brake fluid becomes the more it expands.. if the seals are gone then the expanding will slight push the brake piston , hence giving you a slight power sapping binding.... least you can light your fags of the disc .loll.
