Freelander rear brake noise

Hi hope someone can help me.......I have a 2006 td4, and over the past couple of months i have been getting a scraping noise from my rear wheels when braking. New shoes were fitted previously by a trusted mechanic,after the handbrake seized on. The noise started quietly/intermitantly, it sounds just like shoes rubbing on the drum. i asked the mechanic to look over the car, and he found nothing wrong, and the car last week passed its MOT. I tried a process of elimination, by changing the drums right to left, and the noise changed with it. I was sure the problem was with the drum, as the offending drum had been previously ground on the edge to eliminate rust. I have since changed the drum for a quality new one, but the noise persists. The noise does not occur when yanking up the handbrake only on braking moderately hard. is there anything else that can be put under pressure when braking, that will cause this scraping noise? the mechanic said that as i don't do a great deal of miles, the shoes were not bed in properly...could this be the case.
thanx in anticipation of loads of good advice

The shoes do take a while to bed in . They will rub if adjusted to far out also but this will subside as you put more miles on it . Try driving and pulling the handbrake on slightly and see if the noise increases , if so try driving for a while with it on slightly and this will quicken the process of the rubbing that requires broke in on the shoes

MY 2 PENCE

Thanx Bryso90 for your 2 pence

Yes i drove round the estate with the handbrake on yesterday...the more i think about it, the more i think it might be the act of braking putting a strain on something else ie CV joints or even rubber bushes, as the sound could be a rubber screeching noise, pulsating in time with the rotation of the wheel..anybody out there with any ideas ?
