Vito Brakes seized on - damsel in distress

[grendels mum]

Please help, have just been out to the van and it won't move, I think the brakes are seized on although it has only been standing for less than 48 hours. I desperately need to use the van tomorrow early morning so has anyone any idea how to free them off and what the problem might be. It hasn't even been that wet over the last few days. Many thanks

I cant see this being brakes locked on,, you can test this by putting into D and parking brake off, the vehicle should move with a good push

As Malc above, is it known for them to do that, try rocking it backwards and forwards and it should free of, otherwise a hammer to the drums will be called!! for

Isn't the rear brake proportioning valve on Sprinters renowned for seizing?

There was a recall issued in october for Vito, Traveliners and Vianos because a wrong master cylinder was fitted to some models ..I dont have the affected numbers or dates..but worth a call to the dealers
