Hi
We have a 54 reg Disco 3 which has just started to make, what only can be described as a clunking noise when the handbrake is put on. For the first time (last Sunday) the handbrake failed to go on. A screeching noise happened and then the dashboard light flashed. However when the ignition was turned off and then on again the handbrake worked perfectly.
I have consulted a local garage, who says the handbrake may need to be striped down and cleaned which will cost in excess of £200. Not what we wanted to here!
Can anyone help with this issue? Any suggestions or instructions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you. Regards
Amanda

Suggest you make yourself a cup of tea, grab a packet of biscuits and read this thread

Welcome to the site
Do a search for EPB or Screamer and you'll see lots of posts on the issue
It does sound as though yours needs a spot of TLC though it shouldn't cost that much, it may well be worth your while emailing site sponsor 10forcash for a more competitive quote to do the work The End

If you've got someone handy with a spanner, it's not difficult to adjust yourself.
