Get a helper to sit in the car with the engine running in neutral, with the foot brake applied. Then lift the bonnet and give the wire on the right hand side of the brake fluid bottle a wiggle. They are prone to bad connections. Sometimes wrapping the connector in insulation tape does the trick.

Make sure the handbrake is fully pushed down. The linkage within the rear brake is prone to binding especially when the weather gets wetter. You may even have to check this out if the problem persists.
no nether are over adjusted.
