Looking at that video it looks and sounds like a wheels coming off!! It's not just doing it when you brake. I would check your wheel nuts as a precaution as its just been serviced and all!

Got a caliper hunt now.

Thanks! Got one coming!
Hope this sorts it out!

Hopefully so, it's only really a dragging brake that would generate enough heat to make the wheel that hot.

Stuck my finger onto the rear off side wheel, after I had a horrid grunching sound. Then wished I hadnt!!

Thought it was a stone stuck behind the pad.

Did the disk in by the time I got into Kendal and they replaced rear disks and pads. Stuck on sliders, big hammer to get the B to move, said the fitter.

It was a sticking caliper.
Sorted now, the guy tried to sort it without putting a new one on but it was well ruined!
So a new caliper later and it's all running sweet.
Thanks for the help folks.
