I've completely run out of things to check but my car will not move.
I've just taken it off the axle stands after the front brake caliper issue and lowered it onto its drive on rubber ramps that I use so I can get the jack underneath and i cant drive it off.
Its like the brakes are stuck on completely.
I jacked up all 4 corners individually and they all spin fine so nothing binding.
I just the front end up and went through all 5 gears and reverse and the wheels spin no problem.
I then jacked the wishbones up to the angle of the driveshaft changed and they still turned freely so why on earth wont it move when on the floor.
I need the car out the way by tomorrow afternoon as its in front of my garage door and I am picking up a new bike tomorrow morning and need to put it away.
Can anyone help, its driving me mental

Ive no obvious idea, could only think gearbox issue, did both wheels spin one way, the correct way when jacked up..

You say the brakes are stuck on completely, but all four wheels move?!

Found it, was a kinked brake hose
When the full weight of the car was on the wheels it put enough of a curve on the hose to show it had collapsed inside, lifted slightly was no problem.
Took a lot of head scratching that

Wow that’s a crazy one. No wonder it drove you mental.

was that the hose that took the brunt of the caliper bolt failure by any chance?

Ya know I had that happen once when I didn't catch that I had twisted the Caliper/hose 180 when I was replacing the wheel bearing on the car. I caught it prior to jacking the car down as I said to myself that don't look right…..
