Now its got colder (perhaps) im getting the above, from start when braking, fades away after a bit.
Is the shoe sticking? Doesnt feel like it is, but i know one drum wont have much effect
I suppose its an investigative jobby, but drum brakes are a "extremely nice personage". Is there anyone with a simple diagnostic?

Mine does something similiar, had the drums off, all ok. So think it most be abit of rust build up on the drums in this damp weather. It soon goes away after the first brake or so..
