Yes kill switch is the must. You can find "how to" in my Polo's modding thread.

Brakes. First of all you have to check what's the reason for drag. It doesn't have to be adjustment problem. Rust, drum that is old and with extensive wear, brake shoes that are out of specs, too tight setup of the hand brake lines, etc.

Many things to check. So I can't tell what would help in your situation. You just need to check everything, and see on your own the results.
