    just went out in my focus, got in turnd the key everthing was fine, took the hand brake off and i didnt roll so i eased off the clutch and still no movement... checked to see if i taken the hand brake off properly, i had, so i went to drive off and heard a massive bang noise. think its because my car has not been used in 2 days, now when i brake there is a scraping noise, like my brake pads are warn.

    Hi Boots,

    Nothing to worry about. Just stuck on due to the weather and lack of use.......Rusty. Will be fine after using the brakes a few times.

    Hope this helps.... :D

    if it continues to do it i recommend you get it looked at, probably the brakes binding.
