My Corsa SXI

As youll guess from my post i know nothing about cars but im looking for
some help. Everytime i park my car for a extended period of time or
overnight when i start the car & try pull way its as if my car has kind of
sunk into my suspension & it feels like ive still got the hand brake on. It
will eventually un-stick but with a few creeks & screeches. Any advice
guys?? THX

 

Don't know the Corsa, but I suggest first step is park overnight without
h/brake on (so park on level ground and in low gear) and see if problem
disappears.

If problem persists, I've no idea. But if problem goes away, suggest check
that h/brake release springs are ok. Does Corsa have separate h/brake drum
or pads?

Are discs (or drums?) showing surface rust after just a few hours parked?

 

Unless it's a 1.8SXi+ (or maybe a New Corsa) then it will have rear
drums. The 1.8 was the only Corsa C to have rear disks (and I think
it's disks only, no parking brake drums).

Check the cables as they run round the rear arms. They are not covered by an
outer cable and can fray, leading to them sticking in the guides.
