faulty switch under the handbrake lever, leak in the resevoir?if there was a leak anywhere else in the system you'd notice it.

thats under the impression your on about a corsa?

i have recently totally overhauled the rear brakes right down to the brake lines and mine still does it. bled everything also so i can only put it down to a faulty sensor on the handbrake itself but means taking up the carpet to get to it i believe
