By the way (digressing slightly) what would you say needed adjusting on
a brand new (manual) car if the car rolls an inch or so and then comes

the handbrake and then release the footbrake?

Nothing, perfectly normal behaviour for vehicles with a transmission
brake, like Defenders and Discovery's. Just the "slop" in drive chain
and suspension.

But this is a manual car so it doesn't have a transmission brake. I can't
see how suspension is implicated if the car is fully at rest (ie car body
has stopped moving relative to the wheels) and the wheels then rotate
slightly when the footbrake is released after the handbrake has been
applied. I'd have thought that this indicated some sideways play on the
brake pads that are operated by the handbrake - I presume there must be
separate pads because if there was only one set of pads they would already
be applied by the footbrake and should remain applied just as hard when the
handbrake pulls them on and then when the footbrake pressure on them is
released. Car is a Honda CR-V if that helps identify problem further.
