I have an 04 Freelander 1. This week I have been parking the car on the drive which is an uphill slope. The brakes have been sticking on when trying to drive off.

I have done a search but can't find anything conclusive. Is there anything I should be worried about?
 
parking forwards or rearwards?

rusting on handbrake.
try parking it in gear without handbrake and see if thats better.
 
reversing off - common problem. try parking in gear no handbrake, or turn the car around.

report back.

Cheers MHM, I thought of that too so I'll give it a go.

I read a lot of threads on other Landys, having owned a few different varieties, I am quickly realising you are a bit of a guru! :tea:
 
How about the rear brake shoes starting to come off the lining and jamming between the drums. might be worth taking them off to have a check.

it could be next doors cat having a snooze under a rear wheel, but lets get him to try the easy things first eh? ;)
 
Mine do this at times, esp after laning and in the wet, I find a strip down, clean and lube helps, brakes that is.
