No need to SHOUT!!!
It will be the handbrake shoes rubbing on the drums on the rear discs. You can get it fixed, but it will be back within about 6 to 9 weeks. Afflicts falcons, commodores, ma=gnas and camrys, plus others probably - it's just a result of the handbrake design.

JC is most likely right. He usually is! It was a crummy design and why Ford and a stack of others didn't opt for the handbrake working the disc I'll never know. Actually I probably do know, COST!
Try adjusting the handbrake a little. Slide the driver's seat all the way back, take off the rubber boot from the handbrake lever, and loosen the 10mm nut 3-4 turns. If that doesn't work, go a few more turns, but keep in mind that you don't want to lose your handbrake function. All the best with it. GK
