Am I imagining this, or is it an actual Landy "Thing&q

Just got home after a 120 mile Boxing Day round trip. Backed up my (steeply sloping), drive as per usual. Handbrake on, left in reverse gear (again, as per usual), switched off engine. There's always a slight lurch after this, as she settles down for the night.

As I sat farting about, retrieving keys, crap from the passenger footwell and the chubby box, she gave an unexpected second, further slight nod forward that had me stamping on the foot-brake and checking to make sure I'd done everything as usual to anchor her. Started up again, down the drive, back up the drive, left in reverse, handbrake FULLY applied, same result!

I've now left her parked with the front wheels on almost full lock, so if she does this all night she's only going to finish up inching into the raised brick kerb on my driveway.....but of a nuisance, but more of a worry really.

Anyone had anything similar, or can point me in the right direction to get this sorted?.....or am I just being a pansy?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer me chaps!
