OSR wheel getting warm

Noticed my average mpg has dropped from around 28 to 25 and today noticed the OSR wheel was pretty warm in fact I could feel the heat coming off the brake disc and after only a short run.

I've had a couple of muddy off road trips of late so wondering if something is likely to be binding? Would EPB shoes cause this heat up or is it more likely to be a sticky caliper?

No idea, never had LR warranty. Had a fair few calipers on WD though. Depends if LR warrty peeps class it as wear & tar.

Is it easy to just pop the rear disc off to have a look inside or is it quite involved?
