Discovery 4 emergency handbrake release & neutral

How to put the Discovery 4 into neutral & pull the manual handbrake release, in case of power failure, or non start.
Make sure you have your foot on the brake, as the vehicle can run away.
To reverse the procedure just push the lever down, turn the catch clockwise 90 degrees.
To enable the handbrake pull the handbrake switch up twice.

    Thank you so much for this concise and clear instruction. I had been trying to pull the red handled release, but for obvious reasons it didn't do anything. Pulled so hard broke the handle off. Only problem now is to fix the EPB module so that it doesn't first scream and then blocks. Thank you

    Hi Steve I don't understand English well, but I seem to have understood that to complete the unlocking you need to pull the part with the red fabric tape, you have to pull that wire up too, right? I have a sport from 2012 that got stuck to me, I pulled the red strap and this steel wire is still stuck I hadn't really noticed, in fact to retrieve the car with the rescue wagon they had to put the skates under the wheels.

    The plastic red handle pulls a small cable. That will put the vehicle into neutral. You then unscrew the cover, to see the loop of wire. pulling this releases the handbrake.

    Seems the PoS Discovery 5 doesnt even have this. Mine was stuck and unable to be towed. Now on its way to 2nd hand dealer to get flogged in favour of a real 4x4

    Discovery 5 the neutral release is under the engine cover on the engine. You can release the handbrake with your foot on the brake & ignition on. If the caliper motors or wiring have failed the motors have to be removed & wound back manually with a big hex socket.

    When you pull the cable to release the handbrake it destroys the accentuator which then costs nearly a £grand to have fixed!! I know this as the Land Rover Assist sent someone out to do it, luckily he wasn’t strong enough to do it and when I told the dealer they said it’s a good job he didn’t do it! Don’t need the handbrake anyway but it will fail the MOT without one.

    Why do you think it would destroy the actuator? The cable just pulls a mechanical pawl to manually release the cables. When the switch is then pulled up twice, the handbrake motor re-latches the cables. I have released many cables on both Discovery 3 & 4 without incident.

    Just shows you how much LR dealerships know about their product. Pulling the cable doesn't break anything.
