There are a few cars with rear disks and hand brake issues - Vauxhall Corsa and Honda Jazz are in this category.
The issue I observed was this:
- The handbrake was applied when the brakes were hot.
- As things cooled down, the ratchet on the handle was sprung off leaving no parking brake applied.
- The driver had (very foolishly) left the car on a slope and in neutral.
Please don't ask me how I know this .............
