Default brakes

Took my car for a shake down run tonight (in the dark) with my mate. Everything went really well apart from the brakes kept binding on. I had to stop on 3 occasions to let the brakes cool down/release. It seems to be the rears. I had already backed off the handbrake to the point where this doesn't work so I know its not that causing the problem.

I have an inline pressure switch to activate the brake lights and when the brakes are locked on the brake lights remain on?

Has anyone got any suggestions?

Cheers

David

p.s my car has now done 10 miles!!!
