Just bought a 206cc auto, so I am not use to its little ways yet, just a quick question, when it has stood over night and I start off it sounds like the brakes have stuck a little, it does not do it the rest of the day. Also when coming to a stop just at the last part there is a slight noise, would you think this is brakes or something else. I can get it back to the garage I bought it from but it would be nice to be able to point them in the right direction. Apart from this little niggle, it is a fun car to drive especially when the roof comes down.

arent most brake pads fitted with shims that prevent this?

My rear drums were sticking after being parked overnight, ended up having to replace the shoes as one of them had its friction material come away from the metal shoe.
Be worth whipping the drums off and making sure that the same isn't happening. First i knew that the shoes had gone (although they were like brand new) was when I put my foot on the brake and the pedal went to the floor.
