You clearly need to do a brake SYSTEM O/H,

Regardless of what Freelander you have(you don't say) you need to have them checked over,soon....!

Clicking could be the self adjusters. But as previously stated get them checked or do an overhaul yourself.

Only make the sound on breaking?

Does the frequency of the clicking sound decrease as the car slows?

If all the springs, retainers and adjuster are fitted correctly I'd say the miss-alignment off the shoe has either buggered the shoe or drum, perhaps both.

update ok I tried adjusting the brake shoes and looked for any scrape marks etc but could not see any so today I swapped the drums over and now the clicking has stopped so ill wait and see if the clicking returns again
