Hi,when I pull off in my M2c it squeals for 5 seconds after I drive off
It’s a sticky handbrake
Are there any quick fixes?
I have no idea, but don’t really want to take it to garage this side of Xmas

Try gently applying the handbrake on and off a few times while moving. Don’t pull it sharply to lock the rear wheels; just enough to remove any corrosion from the pads.

Thank you I’ll give it a try, what kinda speed wud u suggest

Low speed, just a few mph.

The rear handbrake/hub area is a pure rustbucket, especially if you drive the car in Winter. It's worth taking apart and cleaning properly every few years. It's not a hard job at all, just takes a bit of time and some organic cleaning supplies.
