I pose this question to see if this is a normal phenomenon.
The last two times I have washed the 2007 Mog, a habit of mine is to throw the last of the clear rinse water through the wheels over the hubs.
When I put the car away I always hold the car on the brakes, in gear, until I switch the ignition off and leave it in gear with the hand brake off (recommended by the dealership).
When I next drive the car (more than a week later) I take it out of gear, start the engine and put it in reverse. As I pull out of the Garage backwards there is a loudish 'Klunk' and a shudder from the Front Wheels as the 'stuck brakes' release. It is a bit of a worry. Is this a normal Disc Brakes thing???
We have a 2007 Jag S Type tin top which does the same 'Klunking' thing after a wash but Jag discs rust up quickly after getting wet or damp and have that electronic auto parking brake thingy.
Neither cars do it any other time.
