The car is making a grinding noise and it feels like the handbrake is half on.
When it's parked up a slope and the handbrake is released there's a 'clonk' when setting off and it grinds whilst driving. The normal brakes seem to be working as they should. Is it just a case of replacing the brake shoes? --------------------  |

Do you have drums? Only asking cause here in the states the ST have drums in the rear. It may be your e-brake cable might have torn and they are stuck applied so they are grinding. Doubt they seized. If they grind when you use your brakes then you might need new shoes indeed.
