Would anybody be able to shed some light on my latest problem? When I release the handbrake, as I'm about to pull off there's a loud knock. Not sure where the noise is coming from but I had a similar problem with my last car but never found out what the problem was.

Yeah, it'll terrify passengers but, worry not, it's nothing to be concerned about.

You could always leave the handbrake off overnight, if it's safe to do so of course.

I've had this happen on every car I've owned after I've washed it.

Are we talking of the pads sticking on the discs after heavy rain or washing the car?Rear brake thing and should be more obvious when reversing than moving forward i think after n overnight park.

Agree with above. When the car is left on drive after washing it makes this when reversing off.
