Hi all.

I'm a bit miffed with Land Rover at the moment.

I've got a 2009 Range Rover Sport (22000 miles on the clock) with a "loose parking brake" Land Rover are telling me that it is a wearing part and i will be charged for labor but not parts ... Is it me or is that wrong?

Any advice much appreciated.

I don't know if it is cable operated but I would guess that stretch of the handbrake cable is wear and tear although I don't think I would be happy with LR's response if my car was only 2 years old  Proud owner of a 2008 TDV8 HSE.....and an Audi A3 2.0T DSG Cab and a Porsche 911 Turbo (Mercedes W208 320 CLK and Mercedes W124 E220 Estate now gone)

Which part have they said needs replaced?

ware on the shoes..... yes but the cable..... no, its electronic how can that possibly be down to owner operation

Surely shoes shouldn't wear unless not correctly fitted or applied when moving.

Its like a windscreen motor on top of the unit i seem to recall...but its been a long time since ive seen one off the chassis Mike

Wouldn't happen to be Armstrong Massey would it

I used them for years but voted with my feet after clutch master issue on my FL1 - got job done by Stratstone, Hull with a 50% contribution and I was a few months out of warranty

I would contact lr customer service  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!
