My lovely high performance rear drum brakes are squeeling when they're warm of have been sitting over night if it's damp. I don't think that can need replacing yet as the car has cover only 48.5k.

It's a horrible noise, does anyone know how to resolve it? Also they seem to stick on a bit if the car is left on the handbrake allday or night. Any help appreciated.
