Hi,when I activate my electronic handbrake on a hill it rolls back. However it holds fine nose facing down.
I have a Vauxhall Antara 2.2D 2003
Any help would be appreciated

iirc they are shoe on drum for the parking brake inside the disc, worn disks or shoes may be a issue, the self adjusters can seize up leading to the shoes not spreading evenly - a good clean and inspection should sort it
