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 .............

Please leave the car in gear when parked - we should all do this anyway.
