      In stationary position I let off the brake pedal and can hear a prolonged creeping noise coming from the front. Also under hard breaking the car pulls to the left slightly.

      I have new brembo discs and pad last december so I am think it's a sticky/seized caliper?

      What car?

      Sticky caliper sounds about right. Posibly alignment if it's dragging.

      After a journey does your wheel feel excessively hot? Can you smell a burning clutch type smell when driving. Sounds like a sticking caliper. Mine did this the other week. I bled the caliper and freed the sticking piston by pushing it back with a g clamp a few times.

      Can't smell anything but it's an intermittent problem as its first not always make the creeping noise when letting the foot brake off, 50/50 weather it will do it but the problem is getting worse...

      You might have warped the disc if the caliper was sticking. Dismantle the caliper and clean it thoroughly with brake cleaner its not a difficult job but does take a while and the bolts/nuts could be tight. Diy will save a lot of money..parts are cheap nowadays from ebay..get a small tube of copper grease too.

      The only creaking I hear is if I'm stationary (foot brake pressed) and the noise appears when I let off the foot brake...
