Hi all,
Disco hasent given me any bother in last 6 months until yesterday evening. Was out and about in the disco for most of day yesterday and was using the epb now and again and all well. Pulled up at house last night and went to apply the epb and started screeching adn whining. now i have suffered with it before, but all it needed was adjustment and worked away fine. had chap at work look at this morning and after adjustment, still no good, now it wont even activate when go to apply. fairly pi$$$d off now!! would say if the disco has been wading through a foot or two foot of mud latley but its been all road driving lately.
Not a happy camper as out of warranty so i expect that LR will go to town on it!!  07 Discovery 3 TDV6 Commercial (Java Black) with:
Gone but not forgotten.

I have had no handbrake for 4 weeks now due to shortage of spare parts  , will be sorted next week hopefully. I don't do any serious off roading and generally take really good care of my disco but yet its plagued with stupid problems like this. Also I only have 40,000km ( about 9 months for me) of warrenty left so am absolutely dreading the bills after this time. Absolutely love the D3 but sometimes its hard to justify the costs

irishrover, what did you chap at work do - if he just backed off the adjustment through the little hole on the hub then all he has done is slacken the shoes off and they wont be applying enough pressure to hold the car - or did he take the hub/discs off and do a proper clean and adjustment - its easy to do - have a look in the maintenance stickies and all the info is there  Duncan

If I'd known I was going to be so thirsty this morning I'd have drunk more beer last night.
