The brakes are locked on, brake fluid OK. Can you help with suggestion as to what has caused this?
Thanks

Need more details than that. Was it sitting for a long time? Was the parking brake applied? What is the symptom? Does the vehicle move and the brakes get hot or will it not move at all? If the brakes get hot, is it one wheel, two, or all four of them? Did this happen suddenly or did it get gradually worse over time? How does the brake pedal feel? Is it higher and harder than normal?
