What happened when the dreaded Park Brake Fault error message appeared on the dashboard and how I replaced my broken PARKING BRAKE MODULE on a Land Rover Discovery 3, LR3. Made for your entertainment, rather than your education.

As a fellow LR3 sufferer I appreciate you making this video, well done, I hope you find time to make more in the future.

@graemevass745 4 года назад

Did my epg module today , omg .. 3 hours to get the 4 mounting bracket bolts off , mine didn't snap , just rounded ... I didn't even bother try removing the hand brake cable clips the bolts were so corroded and rounded , i just easily broke the rusty clips by wiggling them instead . I put the new one on in no time . Goggles are a necessity for this job , my car will be so much faster and more economical now , as so much rust fell off when i was using an air chisel on one of the bolts lol . Well done Simon for doing this job and video .

Who needs Netflix when you can watch Simon fixing his disco. Nice clear footage, really enjoyed it - but now put off getting one myself 👍🏻

@WeAreBigKids 3 года назад

Yeah, don't buy one. These cars are amazing when they work, so there's no reason to ever sell it on other than you've gotten sick of fixing it. If there's a second hand one for sale I can guarantee there's a problem with it somewhere. I still have mine and it is a constant source of problems. I wouldn't wish it upon anyone. I hoping to trade it in for the new VW ID.7 when it comes available.

Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth on those rusty bolts - I winced as much as you tightening the rear upper control arm 😓 but that’s why we do it! To learn, buy tools and test the patience of our partners - top work, keep it up!

I hate fixing cars. I love driving them, though. Thanks for watching.

@jonatday 4 года назад

Another great video, the more annoying thing is if you look on the back of the transfer box there are 4 bolt holes for a conventional transmission brake, that's the easy bit, what I haven't worked out is how to mount a brake lever in the cab, and keep the electronics happy, because it uses cable tension monitoring I think, that handbrake is deep buried in the cars electronic systems and won't be removed without loads of system modifications but cleverer people know how I'm sure. Thanks for sharing your painful experience, helping others is the best!

@WeAreBigKids 4 года назад

You're right. I turned the ignition on while the EPB module was removed and the whole dashboard lit up and started beeping error messages. I am told the angle sensors are also in the EPB module, but I haven't verified that information yet.

I reckon your Disco 3 and mine must be twins. Last year my EPB stopped engaging, so I contacted my local LR independent and was shocked at the quote for parts and labour. I looked on eBay and found a module for about £400 cheaper and sent off for it, with the aim of giving it to the specialist to fit. When it came to it, it turned out that it was not the EPB module that had failed, the issue was with the brakes themselves. Watching you tackle this made me glad that I didn't attempt it, especially as I'd have only found later that the issue was not what was expected. All credit to you again for having a go. Your films have spurred me to tackle more. Last week I did the oil, oil filter and air filter (all of which I filmed), and earlier today I was underneath looking at the fuel filter and giving the fasteners a hit of penetrating fluid ready for the weekend. Please keep posting your endeavours.

@WeAreBigKids 5 лет назад

I'm hoping that I don't have any more endeavours with my Land Rover. But we know that we will. If people keep watching I'll keep making them. Thanks for watching and good luck with the Fuel Filter. That's an easy one.

@shawnxiao6950 4 года назад

Hi Razor, My EPB stopped engaging one month ago. So I pull the security cable to release the car. when i try to engage the EPB again, i can only hear the wired sound like the gear or the cable is stuck in the module. After reading your comment, i am wondering maybe mine is the same problem with the brakes, cause the brakes are due recently. Any ideas about why the issue was with brakes themselves? your help will be really appreciated.

@OffMyCloud 4 года назад

@@shawnxiao6950 Hi Shawn, My EPB wouldn't engage at all. It wasn't stuck on, so I didn't need to pull the release cable. At the same time, I was getting drag from the rear brakes on pulling away. I thought the fault was with the EPB module, but on further investigation it was found that the park brake shoes on one side had delaminated and on the other side the shoes were worn low and the discs are heavily worn/corroded. It was this that stopped the EPB from working. I hope that helps. Either way, an expensive job I'm afraid.

What a cool couple, RE watched your first video and stuck around for the second which are very entertaining especially during this pant's lock down shenanigans. I have a D3 which has me hostage and in perpetual overtime to meet the whacking great repair bills over the 5 years of ownership, like the previous post I went from secondary school onto the tools and then into all sorts afterwards including camera op and Avid editor so I really appreciate how much graft you put into your posts not only working on the ground losing circulation but the camera work and post production, thanks for the entertainment and you two stay safe

@WeAreBigKids 4 года назад

Thanks! The Rear Suspension video was 18 hours of footage. This Parking Brake video was about 12 hours of footage. I didn't want to film another fix, I just wanted to get it back on the road. But my partner kept bringing the camera out and telling me that I must do it. I didn't bother using my radio mics for the Parking Brake video. Also it took far too long in my spare time to edit it. I work as an broadcast editor for my day job, so not a fan of editing when I get home. Any way, thanks for watching. We're both happy you enjoyed it.

I think if this causes me any aggro, I’m selling the bloody thing...life is far to short to keep fixing this bloody discovery 3. I’ll go and buy the new defender instead......lol

@WeAreBigKids 4 года назад

I have to agree with you - life IS too short to be fixing a Land Rover. I wouldn't buy the new Defender, either. There are videos of people with brand new Defenders that have problems already. No more Land Rovers for me. Not unless they got back to basics and remove all the electronics.

Yeah, don't buy a Discovery. They are brilliant when they work and are a real nightmare when they don't. They're expensive to fix, too heavy for some recovery trucks and they break down often, despite me desperately trying to look after my investment. I can't see how anyone can own one of these and not be fixing it themselves. A lot of garages don't understand all the ins and outs of all the electronics and the air suspension. The Discovery 4 has problems with the crank snapping in the engine and nothing lasts very long. Get a Toyota. Thanks for watching.

@WeAreBigKids 5 лет назад

The Land Rover "Bongs" ARE swear words in my house. The fault codes revealed an electrical fault with the module, which went away with the new one. What's wrong with a simple lever and cable, any way? I find it's always the electronics that are breaking on mine. It hates water, too. Sets off all sorts of errors.

@ruaidhriobriain 5 лет назад

MrThommo78 yeah, anytime mine had handbrake issues I adjusted the brakes and / or replaced the rear rotors ( brake discs) and fitted new shoes. Thanks for putting up the video, all these videos help us all and are great for giving us an insight before we tackle a job ourselves.

@MrStevengarner 4 года назад

Hi once u fitted the hand brake and reconnect the shoes and discs how did u adjust them up and did u have to reset the box using a computer to say its had new shoes or just plug and play ?

@WeAreBigKids 4 года назад

I used the famous "Bodsy's Brake Bible" to adjust the new shoes. Ian Bodsworth, MrBodsy (ru-vid.com/show-UCnLMPIUcCRpNoIrOgZDMraw) has made an extremely complete and detailed PDF file for everything brake related. Have a search of the internet for it. You may get it from disco3.co.uk, failing that the Discovery 3 & 4 Owners Group on Facebook have it in their files part. It's free.

@WeAreBigKids 4 года назад

Oops, one more thing, you don't need to tell the computer you've adjusted the shoes. That bit is automatic.

Great video, but what height did you put the suspension to and did you remove the suspension fuse in the engine bay .

@WeAreBigKids 4 года назад

I didn't touch the suspension in this video. I did not remove the fuse, either - I just disconnected the battery.

@graemevass745 4 года назад

@@WeAreBigKids thanks , disconnecting the battery is always best . I read somewhere to put the car in off road height then remove fuse 26 from the engine bay fuse box , can't remember exactly. I've got the handbrake module and new shoes to do next ... then front wishbones. Currently doing egr blanking, as i was sent the wrong one ( sent me an egr for a 2007 , mine is 2005 ) , so i refitted the old faulty egr and decided to blank them . I'm stuck at removing the butterfly spindle thing at the moment .... 🤬

Hello, I've watched this video several times now and still can't decide if I want to tackle this myself or pay the money and get the garage to do it. Did you get your replacement module on Ebay? Would you mind saying how much you paid for it please? Thanks

@WeAreBigKids 4 года назад

Looking at my accounts for that year it seams I paid £669.99 for the parts, although I didn't record what parts I bought. There are many of these on EBAY, probably because people buy them and then can't get the old one off. If you go to a garage, they will not fit the parts you've bought yourself, you have to buy theirs. So they end up with a fixed car and a brand new module that they couldn't fit. Module then goes to Ebay. So long as they say its new, it should be alright.

@Dashcam_istanbul 4 года назад

Excellent effort. Well done. What's the black cylinder thingy on the left to the bracket?

@WeAreBigKids 4 года назад

Glad you enjoyed the video. The black cylinder is the silencer for the air suspension exhaust. If its the same black cylinder I'm thinking of.

@@WeAreBigKidsThank you. Why would the EAS need a silencer though?

@WeAreBigKids 4 года назад

Yeah, that's part of the Air Suspension. Just checked the engineering manual again and it's noted as the Inlet and Exhaust Silencer. I'd imagine it stops the car farting, or something, every time it lets air out of the suspension system.

Can't remember, to be fair. I don't think I flashed the EPB, I think it just sorted itself out. I may be wrong, it was a while ago now.

I just removed mine today for the same fault. Unfortunately my hand brake latched on and I couldn't release it no matter how hard I oulled the release cable. I ended up cutting the brake cables with an angle grinder. Lol. However I didnt take the bracket out. What made you decide to do that?

@WeAreBigKids 4 года назад

I have no idea how I would have gotten the module out with the bracket still in place. Maybe the bracket was on back to front?

@barryexit 2 года назад

Simon, what was your EPB problem? My park brake was working fine, no screeching or other weird noises. Then one morning I reversed into a parking space at work, and the amber warning light on the dash came on. Now it doesn't work at all! There's absolutely nothing there, no sound, just dead! I have really squeaky brakes when I reverse the car when it's cold, but it's ok when warmed up. Perhaps it was something to do with badly adjusted parking brake shoes, I don't know!

@WeAreBigKids Год назад

Yeah, the adjustment is crucial. If you haven't got it, search for Bodsey's Brake Bible.

Hi Barry, did you ever get to the bottom of this ? I have a similar issue where it doesn’t sound like the EPB is doing anything at all, no sound…. Nothing

@shaunsautorepairs5410 3 года назад

Awesome video.. I appreciate it was a while ago but have to say. If you would have attacked it from the front side of the offside rear wheel the module can be taken out without removing the bracket.. Just need to undo the top two bolts holding it to the bracket. Then it all slides out through the wheel well. Then you will have had to get it programmed because it runs on the canbus system. Goodjob it wasnt a wiring loom fault which is common on these.. Landrovers had a recal early on and had the loom replaced as so many were failing.. Good job though. Hope its still working a year later...

@WeAreBigKids 3 года назад

Yeah, it's still working. I had the loom fault soon after. Luckily the Disco3 webpage pointed me in the right direction and it was the third wire I checked.
