yup....just experiencing this right now.....went to the dealer....they said that the rear calipers were stuck due to some dirt that who knows how it got there and they couldn't retract all the way back and rubbed a little on the rotor but they sorted it....picked up the rangie, done about 5-6 miles but the issue is back....the rear rotors get really really hot and it starts to really get on my nervs....tooooooo many FUDGING issues with this over-priced brand... |

Yep, this was known problem with the EPB (electronic park brake) it happened on my old car, a 2007 model.

Handbrake discs were apparently shattered? Replaced + rear discs at same time. Had to be recovered by AA to dealer as couldn't drive car but all fixed within 24 hours less a few ££! RRS 3.0 SDV6 HSE 2012 Santorini Black

Yep, the pads are designed to shatter if above a certain load is put on them. When you were trying to pull away with the handbrake effectivly on this is what will happen. Mine did exactly the same. The LR tech told me it was for safety reasons because if for some reason the brake activated whilst driving the pads shatter rather than risking the stability of the car. Mine were all repaired under warranty when it happened. 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black
