Check none of the hubs are leaking oil onto the discs. this is the most common cause of brakes pulling to one side

Will take a look , thanks for the reply, could be on the money

Well done , fuild on the left disc!! cheers

Yeah. Had that. Some (not all) of the front brake pistons were seized.

Ther eare several resons.
If it pulls only on heavy braking down a hill, it needs a fluid change as it is boiling.
If all the time then the RH caliper is to be suspected.
Could be a rock caught, pad jamming, one of the pistons seized.

dont forget to check tyre pressures. easily overlooked

This is the one I mentioned in your intro thread

Could also be bad bushes in leading arm under the axle, or even bad panhard bushes but you would have other issues also.
