the shoes sometime stick to the drums (or the pads to the disks) if theres moisture present. It will normally crack off and then the first few times you break will wear off the deposits.

Does your handbrake work, ie if you pull it on on a hill does it hold the car? If it does your prolly fine tbh.

I dont use mine as a parking brake at all really unless i end up parked on a mega steep hill.

Hi guy's, my handbrake is sticking slightly when i go to drive off in the morning off the drive like its stuck over night, and there is also a sort of grinding noise the first couple of times i brake, so im wandering what it can be ? Car still brakes perfectly fine but handbrake isnt to good?

Thanks Rob
