Default Brake Problem

Hi Guys, had my car a week and have my first problem. When I brought it back from the dealers the brakes were shot - even though he told me it had all new linings. I fitted all new linings (used to have my own car shop), took it out today and all the linings are binding and smoking. Has anyone come accross this before or is it simply the master cylinder? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Paul

Yes, I wondered about that as the car has done 4 miles in 4 months, I collected it and did 147 in one hit, now I realise that in the states that is the end of your driveway, but over here that's two thirds of the width of the country - 70 miles more and that would be the other coast!
