1997 2.0 handbrake problems - normd2
If I leave my Ulysse for a few days (be quiet at the back :)) the handbrake seizes on and needs a bit of brutality from the engine to free it off. In daily use all is well - anyone have any experience of these? no Haynes manual available for these so will be going in 'blind'

This used to happen to our Astramax van at work. The fix was to file a chamfer on the leading edge of the brake shoes. Not sure if the same will resolve your problem though.

This electronic manual may be useful (is it not, essentially, the same vehicle?):
