After fitting new front discs and pads, we are having a problem with the front LHS tening to bind slightly and over heating the brake.
it seems that the hydraulic cylinders are not retracting after the brake is applied,
before buying a new cylinder i would welcome your opininion on this.

As Collos, but did you properly clean and lube any sliding mechanism on the caliper, was it easy to push the piston(s) home to accept the new pads.
