Yesterday I took my 2A out for a random drive, it's first outing in about four weeks.
Quick check everything worked before setting off, including dab on the brakes, all good.
But it seemed to pull to the right when braking, so I found a quite stretch of road, and at about 15 MPH stamped on the pedal.
Yep. Definite pull to right. I was close to a large lay-by so pulled in, quick check nothing was hot, so no binding.
Drove forward and braked, same again. I then tried same in reverse, all good.
Tried again forward and it was fine and not happened since.
Any possibilities ?

This may have been a cylinder stuck. Hitting it hard freed it.

Don't forget, a brake pulling to the right is usually an indication of a problem with the brake on the left. If the brake on one side isn't working efficiently, then the brake on the other side (which is working) pulls the vehicle that way.

Not 100% - e.g. a LWB with twin leading shoes could have a brake snatching, which will pull toward that brake.
