dragging sound !!!

hi ppl
took my baby out for a spin up and back down the m5
when i used the brakes i noticed a little scrapping sound
from the rear driverside brakes thought no more of it cos car has been stood up for a week (holiday)
about 10 mins from my home it turned into a real bad noise only way to descrobe it is a dragging noise !!!
the noise is even there when i am not using the brakes.
but i would say it was coming from the rear brakes.
anyone shed some light on this or is it just a case of changing the discs and/or pads ?
bear in mind it makes the noise without using the brakes.
thxs

It might be the brakecalippers to.!
They can become slow and not releas the brakes completly...
(not 100% chure) but i think that is what happened after i mounted the Brembo`s, but this disapeard after a while... Maby the brakepads vas to large ore something...
Im just babbeling the clock is 06.00 and i havent sleept anything yet.....

Ady,
while your there, check your back wheel bearings for movement. The Scorpio’s seem to have silent failing wheel bearings and can give without any warning at all. I'm not saying this is your noise problem but check just to be on the safe side 
Also, if you discover you need to replace the rear pads, go and buy yourself a caliper rewind tool from halfords. About 15-20 pounds if I remember. This makes the job soooo much easier as the piston needs to be pushed and turned at the same time.
Kind Regards
Danny_R
