whenever I apply the front brake then release the lever the brake is still slightly on. I have 2 flick the lever out wiv my fingers.
On closer inspection it's coming from the wheel end.
Is this easy 2 rectify or should my make the most of my RAC membership?

doubt if a rac guy will have a clue ,its prob the brake arm pivot sticking in the backplate , hub off ,shoes off an remove the pivot/cam ,it pushes through the outer side, clean ,grease n re-fit ,
but more likely is a crackered brake cable ,whens the last time ya lubed it or replaced it , H

It sounds like an easy fix..a little regular maintenance wouldnt go a miss. Try a bit of wd40 first if you dont fancy getting your hands dirty..
Keep ya rac card in ya pocket. Your scoot is made for riding... Seeing a vespa on the back of a recovery van doesnt give them a good name.

As above, check it's not the cable sticking, it's by far the most common problem.
