disc brake issue
Outboard disc brake, but front wheel is not moving freely. Ok to drive,but if I turn front wheel by hand or take bike off stand and push you can hear it squeak. Is it an easy fix or is it a case of bleeding the brakes or worse??

i had i front disc that was just as you described, i played it safe and just bought another new nissin brake caliper and its been perfect ever since, i presume its an outbourd disc ? it will then need bleeding, i think it sounds like a sticking caliper or piston or both.i have seen them for sale on fleabay at a good price recently, might be worth a look.

Has your disc always done that or has it just stared doing it? It would be an idea to strip out the pads and make sure everything is free to move and reassemble with a smear of copperslip on the pins. That said, it isn't uncommon for disc brakes to rub a little, there's no spring to pull the pistons back in so when you take your hand off the piston is still just touching the disc.
Is it wheel or calliper? Take the calliper off (don't touch the brake lever!), spin the wheel, no squeak look at calliper, squeak still there forget calliper and look at the wheel bearings, spacers etc.
