Brakes locked
Car has been parked up over the weekend. When I took the handbrake off this morning and reversed what a noise it made. Sounded like a clunk thinking brake pads but will wait to see if you have suggestions. Weather conditions.... Damp but not freezing, has been very windy.

Re: Brakes locked
Pads rusted to the discs, as the handbrake uses the rear brake pads onto the disc surface, and not the old system of separate shoes in a bell (which still used to stick a bit).
I always leave my car in gear with the handbrake off, over night, yet it still does it sometimes after a weekend of not being moved.
