Evening all , i drive an 08/08 TDV8 Overfinch done 7000miles , today i was driving on a dual carriage way doing say 70mph .... when i noticed the car feel different (like i had puncture) bit of vobration etc etc.

At the next lay bye i pulled in inspected the car , until i got to the NS rear wheel , and SMOKE was bellowing out from what looked like the brake caliper area , and the greyish hub was now a smouldering white colour , the tyre was fine , got the car taken to the Land Rover dealer and await their views.

Anyone had this issue before ?

It was not a good impression of what has been a faultless Range.

That's a new one! Keep us posted please. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

something very similar happened to me last year in the TDV6. Just leaving city and joined motorway when experienced savage vibration as if I had a tyre blowout. Got out and checked all round but nothing. Drove off and vibration started again. Was able to limp to dealer (luckily I had only left city limits). when I got there the vibration had stopped (about 5 km) but there was a terrible smell of burning from back right wheel area. Disk was mad hot. They gave it back monday but told me they found nothing, pads were ok, calipers ok brakes functioning no damage. They "reckoned" a stone or even a piece of asphalt had wedged in between the disk and calipers and had been finally thrown out. Never occurred again. RRS TDV6 (gone)

Your EPB was stuck on - seen it a few times before.

Yep, sounds like EPB problems to me. Brother-in-Law suffered something similar in his Disco3. Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.

LR Assist told me that the EPB shoe is designed to shatter if it engages at speed or gets stuck on and you drive away. This is to prevent it causing damage or a dangerous imbalance of the car.

GOOD POINT

I have never used mine since having a problem with it last year. The dealer mechanic told me they were
a real pain and he doesn't understand why the didn't just stick with a good old manual version. I have to say I agree. It's tech for the sake of tech. 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black
