I cannot say whether this may be relevant to Enfield hydraulic brakes, but a common enough issue on older cars is that the inner rubberized portion of brake lines can swell over time. The result is that while the pedal may be powerful enough to force fluid into the wheel cylinders, the springs (in drum brakes) or "float" (in disk brakes) may not be enough to expel the fluid back through the "cloggy" hose once the brake is released. The result is a shoe or pad-rubbing "meltdown" since the brake cannot disengage. Before replacing the pads and rotor and calling it a day, a close examination of the free flow of any flexible brake line(s) in the brake circuit or simply replacing them might be in order. Similarly, a good look at the caliper's seals or a rebuild might be a wise precaution, since the extreme heat of such a meltdown cannot have done them much good.
