Creeks and squeaks, rise and fall under load and not!
Callipers usually seize but more often than not its the handbrake lever/ actuator arm on the rear calliper that seizes on with the handbrake being jacked so if you can free this you don't have to she'll out for a new calliper!(£50+)
Empty (almost) a tin of GT85 all over the handbrake lever on the calliper, try and gain some movement of the lever and try again the next day to be sure!
Shouldn't have sold the 1.6 xs! You'll realise this in a couple of years! ;-)
On the gears, it could be the linkage underneath the gear lever as they're prone to seizing up but not usually after only 2 months laying up so check your clutch on a good drive if you can!
