I must had over tightened them in the past....P
Or 115 Nm in new money.I use a torque wrench = 85 ftlb.
They were greased
Unlikely. A sticking HB is normally the rear drum assembly in need of a good clean, re-lube and assembly, then adjustment.Would it be possible that the sticking handbrake is making the TC, ABS and HDC lights illuminate?

The only real way to tell what's giving the three amigos, is with code read, but you can tests the pre-2002 sensors with a simple digital multimeter on resistance, where you should see about 1K ohms.
If it's after 2002 and has blue ABS sensor plugs, then a code read is needed.
I did have a problem with a low battery and needed to jump start the engine before turning it round, perhaps I dislodged a wire somewhere under the engine cover when looking for an earthing point on the block?
Jump starting or trying to start the engine with a very low battery can do strange things to electronic modules, sometimes causing spurious codes to be logged. For instance my project 1.8 Freelander puts the MIL on, and reports a failed cam sensor when the codes are read, if I tried to start it with a low battery! I know this is a spurious code as this engine won't actually start if the cam sensor is faulty, so it's just a random code, caused by the low battery voltage on cranking.
I'd read the codes, then clear them, and see if they return, once the battery is charged.
You can get most garages to read the codes for a few £.Not sure how I will read codes as I don't have appropriate equipment.
Disconnecting the battery might stop the radio working until the code is entered (this is radio dependent), as not all need a code. If you don't have the radio code, or don't know if one is needed, then it's advisable not disconnect the battery.If I disconnect the battery to fully charge it, would this clear the codes - I heard it would reset everything and also lock the Stereo requiring input of code.
There's a simple code reader available which reads most modules (engine, ABS and airbags) on the FL1 made after 2001 called the Icarsoft I930. It works OK, although it doesn't read the automatic transmission module (TCM).Alternatively, do you know of any resonably priced code readers that will do the job?

Nothing else is cleared by removing the battery, as all codes are stored in non volatile (permanent) memory.

That's not a bad price. There are more sophisticated code reader's, but the I930 is plug n play.Just bought a new ICanSoft I930 for £65 off Ebay
It'll tell you what's causing those.so at least I will be able to clear the codes initially and see if they return. Not sure whether it will diagnose any potential faults for the 3 Amigos, but just have to wait and see.
No problem.Appreciate your time and patience on this topic and am very grateful for your advice.
Would appreciate some guidance on how to get a firm diagnosis and how to fix.
