Brakes problem
2003 Vauxhall Corsa Two Wheel Drive Manual 52500 miles

Hi, im a nurse and therefore have to go to work in the snow. I finished my shift the other evening, and after cleaning off my car of the snow, went to pull away, only to find my car won't move. After speaking to a couple of people, it has been suggested that my brakes could have become frozen on, as car wants to move but won't. i was wondering if you had any suggestions of things i could do to release the brakes so i can bring my car home from the hospital car park as i live 25 miles away, and is proving difficult for me to get to and from work.

thank you x

remove wheels and tap all around drum with a hammer .. or use a gas blowtorch to warm up the drum's ..just enough to unfreeze !
