Quite often the damage is a result of the handbrake parts in the brake disc not being looked after properly at service time. It works so leave it alone seems to be the thing. And then it gets out of adjustment and starts causing expensive issues. I wonder how many EPB systems are actually cleaned and adjusted when the car is serviced. Not many, I bet.

How many of the garages people use are decent indies and how many are just "4x4 specialists"? I'd bet the latter don't touch the handbrake adjustment when they give the rest of the car the annual wipe with an oily rag. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

That's a good point!

The indy I'm using seems to know their stuff and were recommended by Dr. Rob and are LR specialists.

I will definitely ask them later if the handbrake parts are adjusted during a service.

Edit; The indy just called and have managed to salvage the handbrake module (big sigh of relief) and he confirmed that yes "absolutely" should be adjusted every year as part of service. I don't recall seeing it on any of my services before at other garages! 2016 RRS SVR Estoril Blue
2005 4.2L Supercharged Java Black - gone but was my first love.

If we all point our RR's in the same direction and accelerate at the same time can we turn back time?

In fairness, I do trust these gents.

He was incredibly surprised that the release wouldn't work and said the only way it would was if the "plastic teeth had gone over the worm" hopefully that means more to you guys than me.

I'd be delighted if the repair doesn't include the full works, fingers crossed, we'll see.

So did the park brake release after the original outfit cut the cables?
