Sticky rear caliper.

When car is left for a few days, when you start driving you can here a rubbing/grinding noise from the rear right wheel station. This noise goes away after 10 mins or so. Thought it might be shoes for hand brake but it also happens now and again if you are using yer brakes alot/hard ( for fast B roads and things). Also I have noticed The wear pattern on the disc is quite thin compaired the the other side,
Ant thoughts on this problem??
Cheers.

mate they need a service thats all, cos its been standing still it will be binding.

Take the brake pads out and replace em if poss or sand the sides down to release them.
