Anyone else notice that when the handbrake has been engaged, there is a slight roll back (less than 2% of a wheel turn) before it catches and holds? Seems a little odd to me....

Yeah, it does that on mine sometimes, though mainly only on really steep inclines.

We had a chat about this before... something to do with disc brakes having their own holding pattern.. Can't find the thread but I found this thread  regarding a useful method of handbrake application, which might help

Ah... Couldn't find that thread

Shambles, Now who's memory man?   

Actually, I think you will find that the i30 handbrake operates on a separate drum braking system on the rear wheels, not on the disc brakes.  I think that is why there is rolback.  When the footbake lets go, there is a small amount of movement before the drum brake takes hold.

Just about all disc brake cars use that type hand brake, i have had no problem and have not needed it adjusting as yet, 37,000k just over one year.
