New sub here. Great to see the repair actually work! As I said on one of the other vids I had the misfortune of carrying out epb repair and it not working afterwards!😡 9 hours of my life I will never get back
Well worded and brill detail , watched your 3.0 engine build and have now completed 2 engine snapped crankshaft rebuilds using genuine cranks sweet as a nut now, will attempt handbrake next, I was wondering leaving the module in place if you were to take both cables off the back plates and pushed the n/s cable hard back into the module and snap the emergency release catch back into play, then clockwise wind the o/s cable till it came off the gearbox pull rod then wind it back anti-clockwise 5 turns, then make sure handbrake shoe levers are free and adjusted correctly it may just work again, worth a try. cheers again Derek
My discovery 3 hand brake not work in anyway after changed the gear and cable. I find out why. The new cable not come with a lock as you showed on video. All the time the cable loosing because was travelling to far. Than You showed on this video. Safe lot time. Thank You for a great video.
Excellent video's, You are certainly a lot calmer than me when things repeatedly go wrong, I bought new shoes and a fitting kit for my daughters' RR sport the kit was crap, didn't even have the pins jut 2 little springs instead, which I have no idea where they go, probably a different car, BMW maybe, anyway, went to fit the smaller spring that goes across the knurled adjuster, and it snapped, so the old one went in. The bigger spring was a real pain to fit, I didn't check the length but fear it may be too short like yours, I did get it on but it was a nightmare fitting the flat bar with the spring at one end, got the near side on and I've given up for today, but will be back on it tomorrow, to do the drivers side, I am full of a cold too so sympathise with how you were feeling. I undone the nuts on my actuator unit, Thankfully all 4 came out, albeit slowly, I ended up using a 3/8th AF 3/8th drive socket which fitted far better than a 10mm, but I decided not to take it right out just yet and take a chance with the new shoes as the old ones were obliterated, these cars really attract the rust and I didn't fancy all those cable bolts unless I really have to as I am working with axle stands on my drive. Anyway I really enjoyed the videos, very informative, i will check in for some more very soon. the best of health to you, Keith.👍
There is a knack to fitting the shoes, I've done so many now that I find them easy and probably make it look easy too. Put the epb into service mode and provided the actuator isn't stuck then it should give you more cable. I showed how to do it one of the videos, I forgot which one. All the best, cheers for watching.
Well done - and no blood on your hands. Changing the brake shoes on my MkII Consul back in the 70s - always used to lose the odd bit of skin, f'ing springs 🤬
Your video have inspired me to buy a range rover. 😎 previous owner suspects it needs an engine rebuild.. but for 1400 quid can't go wrong, if I can't fix it, there's profit in selling it for parts. 😁 lovely cars though I am hopeful I can repair it.
Hi, I’ve just replaced my handbrake cables and the cables that I removed didn’t have a sir clip on either side? My sport is a 2012 model. Would this year have the clips as I’ve replaced everything without a sir clip.
Hello, I'm confused of your "flat battery" comment. If battery was bad why it could engage parking brake fine but couldn't release it? I'm getting the exact same issue you got at the end... The parking brake can engage fine every time (even after pulling the manual release cable), but when I press the Parking brake button down to release it doesn't do anything (no grinding noise), if I hold the button down for several seconds then a warning "Parking Brake Fault" comes on. The fault goes away if I turn the car off and back on. There is no persistent code. My battery is fine.
Because when I put the brake on, the ignition was off. When I tried to release the brake, the ignition was on. The battery being under voltage combined with the ignition being on caused a huge volt drop. The fault code in the epb module says it all.
Steve, great video as usual and I have watched it several times now and repaired my EPB following your guide, thanks mate. The one mistake we made was not getting pictures of the cable routing when we removed them, as you mentioned to your mate in the vid dont worry I know how the cables route for refitting but you didnt show any close up shots when you refitted. The first bit is easy because of the p clip positions but when you brought the cables over and down and the routed them back up it wasnt obvious of the next bit of the route. Do they then go through the largish holes each side then route out to each axle and the large wire retainers ?? Would appreciate some feedback as doing on the drive is a bit harder and daunting! Cheers again for all the effort you put in especially the snoring dog, love it!
This is going to be hard to explain! Once you've got the P clips in the sort of right place, the cables go up and over the chassis and back on themselves, on the nearside it goes up and over just behind the suspension compressor, they clip into a bracket on the chassis and there is a rubber grommet on the cables which go into the clip. It's quite a fiddle to get the grommet into the clip. After that they go into the backplate and hook behind the wire hook on the lower wishbones.
@@pistonbroke Thank you so much for the quick response, I will dive under later and see if that makes sense once looking at it in situ. Keep up the good work, thanks again.
Great 3 part video Steve, i have watched the process a few times now and i have come to the conclusion i won't be replacing or fixing mine which seized on me last weekend. My local garage will get the hassle and headache. Just out of curiosity how much would you have charged for this job on a 2013 l320 ? fitting new genuine LR actuator and shoes ?
Any advice for mine? The actuator sounds normal and I can hear it wind in and out when I pull or push the button. No errors on the dash, but one rear wheel is jammed on and the other side works normally. I need to release one side but I dont want to pull the release under the centre console because I dont think the problem is the actuator.
Could be a couple of reasons. I've seen the linings come off the handbrake shoes causing it to bind on one side, seized cable(s), seized levers or over adjusted. You need to get the disc off and have a look.
HI BUDDY HOW DID YOU REFIT THE MODULE COVER AS YOU HADE TO GRIND OFF THE 4 BOLTS HOLDING IT IN PLACE CHEERS WE HAVE TO REPLACE OURS AND THE NUTS ARE SHAGGED WOULD APPRECIATE YOU REPLY CHEERS LOUIS
Hi Steve, well done with sticking with it✊🇬🇧 I have just carried a replacement of the Hand brake shoes etc on my 2005 Disco! what a proper pain the arse project! Got there in the end! Swore much more than you and got the proper miseries a few times!🤬🤣 Anyway just picked up on your channel love your approach keep up the good work and stay safe All the best Martin.👍✊🍻
Hi great video, I feel your pain.. I had the same problem, with the handbrake cable rubber that had split and caused the cable to seize, also got a cog kit and replaced the cog inside the epb that had come loose due to the cable being seized. It's been working perfect for 8 months, but now I get the flashing red and yellow warning on the dash, but if I cycle the ignition a few times it dissapears and the handbrake will operate correctly one time only, then I get the flashing symbols again. The epb releases normally when I drive away aswell. Do you know what could be the problem please. Great video it's such a pig of a job.
@@pistonbroke Hi thanks for your reply it's U2002 switch general electrical? I've taken the switch itself out and replaced it, but having the same issue? Thanks for your response.
Sorry, didn't see your reply till now. Could be a switch fault but I've seen this code when the switch is pulled up too slowly. Stupid I know but if you pull the switch up at a certain speed, it will generate this DTC. More than likely a switch fault though but check wiring first
@@pistonbroke I was just watching your video which is well presented I must admit , I was just thinking surely there is enough room to take the cover off , disconnect the cables and replace with new ones
would i.need to get a new modul programed or is it plug snd play . lr4 2013. ive changed the gears and all the breaking system .put it bavk together its saying handbreak latching failure ? any idea why that woukd be ?
@Piston Broke Garage sorry latch it ? i just but it back togther one side turned it five times. and the other side put it on the clip part..reconnect the part that was aprt for the emergency release.
Ok so if you clipped the two cables together on the emergency release bit then it's latched. Possibly a fault on the part with the ribbon cable, that's the bit that tells it whether it's latched or not. Can you hear it trying to work when you pull the switch?
