My parking brake won't hold the car at traffic lights if left in drive, is that normal or should I check the adjustment?

I assume you realise that when the epb is applied whilst the vehicle is moving it also applies the service brakes? and if anyone thinks the handbrake shoes alone can stop a discovery travelling at speed 
It’s usual practice to fit new discs and pads at the same time as parking brake shoes, so you are not only bedding the park brake shoes into the drums but also bedding the pads into the discs when following Bodseys instructions. There is also the slight risk of contamination whist fitting pads and or discs following the bedding-in instructions will burn this off, I always do a similar procedure after fitting new pads and/or discs. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

The bedding in procedure can be found in Bodsys Brake Bible.

I also found it described in a “Pagid Technical Tip”, Pagid being the make of the disintegrated brake shoes.

Did you follow the same bedding in instructions after fitting the second set?- if so did they also disintegrate?  if obviously they didn’t point this out to Mr ECP manager  It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

No, they need bedding in It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,

Check adjustment annually, once they are adjusted correctly it is rare they need adjusting again.
A strip and clean/lube every 2nd year wont hurt either.
