Gday...
We boughgt a 2006 D3 TDV6 SE Auto two and a half months ago. It has 80,000km on clock now and within a week of ownership we experienced a squeal from the right rear wheel AFTER release of the EPB and when moving off. It was like metal brakepads not releasing properly. The squeal would disappear after travelling for a few metres. EPB works excellently in holding the vehicle at any time. Dealer we bought the vehicle from has had it back twice - first time just "adjusted the brake" and the second time "pulled it all down and cleaned and adjusted".
The squeal returned within a week or two after the last effort. Again, it is when the EPB is released - manually by pushing the lever down not using the throttle to release. As the vehicle moves off it squeals now not as loud a volume like before and then disappears after a few metres - and it does not do this every time the EPB is released - probably one in 5 times of releasing and driving off.
My question is whether what we are experiencing with our EPB is what others have experienced prior to failure of the EPB or is this just a D3 problem we "have to live with".
Interested in comments please.

Hi mate,
Thats what was happening to me before the dealer had to replace the whole unit. Admitedly this was in a RRS but I doubt there is much difference in the EPB between the 2 cars. Mine was done while still under warranty so no idea of the cost.

Any extended warranty? “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

Nope ... only the 3 month 2nd hand car warranty .... although I have reminded the dealer we raised this problem in the first week of ownership.
Anticipate "issues" if I have to get a new actuator fitted eventually.

If it nneds a new actuator or module try to push LR to pay. If not there was apost on here where somone had taken one apart to fix it. That may be a cheaper way to go.  “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€
