Number 2 son has a 58 plate Skoda Fabia. It has drum brakes at the rear.
If it has been parked for a couple of days the rear nearside brake seems to stick on. It frees up after a couple of yards.
It's years since I tinkered with cars, but I've suggested to him that he should be able to fix it himself with a bit of guidance.
Any pointers to likely cause? Do handbrakes still have a self adjusting mechanism and could this be seizing up?
