What does this mean " when I try to pull away using handbrake " ??

You description would lead me to suspect a fuel supply fault.
So I'd code rear for live data and check the fuel pressure when this occurs.

On some Vauxhalls that code refers to the h/ brake being on .

" 6 Depress brake pedal to release electrical parking brake "
