Vauxhall Astra H - Sticking Brake Pads - Kildrummy

The front brake bads on my Mk4 Astra keep jamming on. I have taken the caliper off and made sure everything is free + just fitted new brake pads.

When I brake the pads do not release properly.

Any thoughts/suggestions would be very welcome.

lock at you sliders and see if they are full of rust, if this is the case it can stop the pads returning after braking. a good clean would sort it out.
