every so often when I reverse out of the driveway the van does not move off straight away then a loud bang and she moves off ok,had a look under the van and both backplates are dry,I thought a wheel cylinder may be leaking but there is no fluid loss,have not had a chance to whip the drums off yet,any ideas?,thanks

siezed lever mechanism.(in the drum)
Broken return spring(s)
Wrongly fitted shoe
take it apart and clean it all up check it out
might as well change the shoes too
