yeah go to vauxhall.but i wouldnt worry about cost because this should be covered under the warranty.and dont take no for an answer this should not be happening on a 03 car! | |

not at all if that is the problem at worst all that will need to be done is strip it down grease up the cable and put it back on.i know because i;ve just had to do it.:( | |

eeekkkkk....does that involve changing my handbrake cable or my rear brake shoes or the whole lot? | |

it will be your rear brake shoes your handbrake is'nt releasing properly it is a common problem on vauxhalls.if you can get away with it dont use your handbrake until you get it sorted.that way the noise wont be unbearable.:) | |

The car is 03 plate and i've done 16k, so im assumming the brakes will last longer than that, or am i wrong? | |

disks/pads/ shoes need replacing, dirt on the disks/pads, as long as the brtakes function fine its nothing to worry about. | |
