Maybe, which it does and it’s which easily identified with the short settling movement of the vehicle, but initially the foot brake holds the vehicle then P is selected, and then hand brake on, foot brake off, but then I don’t really know what I do it’s automatic after 31 years with a LR auto. Must pay attention

Thanks for that, so having a hand brake holding the load, there is still a lot of pressure put on the gearbox?

no hand brake has 4 x10mm bolts holding it to the transfer box housing

Ok I’ll pay attention and give it a try, so the plan is... I will stop with the foot brake first, as u do, but then it’s on with the hand brake before select P.
Let’s see ,I may find that is what I’ve been doing all this time
Or not.

Got ya, I was having a blonde moment. Well I've ordered the drum,shoes and springs now at least it will last. I dread to think what I'm going to find when I take the rusty flaky old drum off
But a big thank you guys , I've learnt something I didn't give a thought about.
And will change my parking up habit now
