Brakes pinching?

Hi all
Anyone had any experience with the brakes on their FF pinching. I've been suffering with a lower mpg, squeaks on breaking and at slows speeds plus there seems to be a lot of brake dust. Is it an easy thing to fix?

I did have to free my rears, just pushed pads and pistons back in to the calipers, then pumped pedal a few times. This sorted mine.

Thanks chap, I'll see what I can do. Seems to be my fronts causing more of a problem. I swear it's been an issue ever since I got my wheels tracked and aligned a few weeks back. Would they have knocked the brakes when trying to re align wheels? FFRR TD6 HSE

I had a sticking front caliper, I removed the piston and cleaned it all out, fitted new seals and rebuilt it and it still was sticking so bought a new caliper and problem solved.

It's going into garage on Saturday so I'll add it to list of things to check. FFRR TD6 HSE

The hub will get warm if the caliper is sticking
