Subject: 1984 900S -- brake caliper seized in cold weather


I recently bought a 1984 900S to replace my old 1984 900S, which met an unceremoniously early demise when I was broad-sided by someone who ran a stop sign (the car was unfortunately totaled). This morning, the front right brake caliper was temporarily seized up. The car moved, but it didn't roll very well. I drove a few blocks hoping it would release once it warmed up. When I pulled over, the caliper was smoking. I started the car up again, and pumped the brakes and engaged and disengaged the parking brake a few times, and the caliper released. We've had the coldest weather of this year in Rhode Island (teens F at night, forecast to be in single digits F the next few nights). My old 1984 900 S never had this problem, but this is the coldest it's been since buying the current car. Any ideas why this might have happened? Or suggestions for how to avoid happening again? As always, any information much appreciated! Thanks, -jw -- 1984 900 S 198K miles Rhode Island, USA
