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.

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 .

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.

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!

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.

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.

@@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.

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.

As for D3 or D4, there's not a lot in it. There are some problems with the D4 that the D3 doesn't have, mainly the engine's crank snapping on the 3.0l D4 engine. I prefer the interior of the D3, that's why I didn't upgrade to the D4 when it came out. The 3.0l D4 has no gear stick, the cup holders are in the wrong place and generally all the controls are in the wrong place in the D4. I hated it. I decided to wait for the D5 and when that came out I was not at all interested in it, because, well, you've seen the D5, right? Ugly.

We Are Big Kids love your videos & you’re determination is phenomenal. Thank goodness for a supportive partner & of course the the important but “beer”. I have the V8 D3 in silver. Living in Neath. If ever you see me give me a toot. I have Disco3.co.uk stickers back & front. Even better if you ever fancy a day out mud plugging, I’d definitely be up for that.

Everyone on the forums are using the the GAP IID Tool. They're about £400, but they'll do everything, from reading and clearing faults to adding new software once you've swapped a module, and there's plenty of people that can give you help. www.gap-diagnostic.com/products/iidtool/

Love your videos it is a really accurate picture of discovery ownership. You have helped me as watching your videos let’s me have an excuse to take it to the garage to have repairs done £££££££££. Did rear brakes myself and all calliper bolts snapped off, why do LR not put proper bolts in? (LR4)

Did you need to flash or calibrate the new EPB module, or did it just work when you plugged it in after adjusting the brake shoes?

@WeAreBigKids

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’m experiencing this after only 5 weeks of owning it 😭 Love your videos. Did you have to “bed the brakes in” or was it not necessary

@WeAreBigKids

Get used to fixing your new car. It'll require a constant eye on it. As for the brakes, they do need bedding in.

HI there. Great video. How did you calibrate the Longitudinal Sensor?

Can't remember, but I did use my GAP IID Tool to reinstall the module. Probably did it then, but it's too long ago to remember the specifics. Sorry.

Wow my balls have actually gone back inside my body... so yeah I'll probably be taking my Disco 3 into the garage. Currently parking on flat roads in park with the EPB inactive. Not really sustainable practice. Massive well done though & well done for sticking it out. Impressive.

It's the MOT that ruins it all, isn't it? If they didn't test the parking brake I wouldn't fix it. Haha haha.

7:08 I'm sure others have said but can often get off the rusty ones by undoing a turn then doing up 1/2 a turn, resting and WD40 often :)

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

I used the famous "Bodsy's Brake Bible" to adjust the new shoes. Ian Bodsworth, MrBodsy (kzread.info/dron/nLMPIUcCRpNoIrOgZDMraw.html) 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.

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

I felt your pain with that one mate, great video though, thanks for sharing. Which OBD device do you have that connects to your phone??

I have the Gap Diagnostic IID Tool. There's a Pro, which costs £1,500 ish and is for reading and changing on multiple VINs. Mine is the standard Bluetooth IID Tool which costs £400 and gets locked to the VIN of your car. It's the go-to IID on the Discovery 3 & 4 Owners group. It is expensive, but it will save you that money back in around 6 months, depending on how many faults you get.

Nice work; My LR4 has started to do this...oh how i dread this work. Fortunately I cut my mechanics teeth on an xjs v12 so stuff in the way is normal. Why oh why do late model LRs rust so much underneath??

Good job 💪👍

This is where living in Australia has it's advantages (Amongst others). Bolts just loosen when you turn them anti-clockwise with a socket.

There are many parts stores in the UK that sell this part. Type the following into Google: discovery 3 electric parking brake Also, look on ebay, as people buy the part, then give up before fitting it.

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

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 .... 🤬

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.
