Thanks Ant, the car is booked in for a service next week so an opportune moment to have the handbrake checked, and as you say it is still within warranty.  I have to manually engage autohold and have discovered that the handbrake will release easily whilst this is engaged, if it is not the handbrake will only disengage if I press down on the accelerator with some weight.

I was on a slight slope earlier, seat belt on, and I depressed clutch to drive off, but e brake stayed on;
I then got a message on dash in red
, that I needed to release e brake.
I know now that I just have to press footbrake and release e brake.
