Hi, only had my 2008 TDV8 a week. Drove it yesterday and all was well, got in it this morning put it in D and got a very strange noise from the rear. Looks like the brakes are stuck on. The red parking brake light is on and a yellow brake warning light has come on. Can anyone help please. Thanks

Chris

EPB jammed the rear shoes. you will need to strip the rear drums to find out the problem, common on the sports and Discoverys.

If you bought from dealer should be covered under warranty  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

Ok thanks both for the replies. I got a warranty wise policy with it, lets hope its covered!

Don't be fobbed off - it's dealers responsibility regardless of what warrantywise say

Just spoken to the dealer who suggested I try warranty wise first!

They would as they are hoping not to spend anything  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

I've pushed back - it's off to a LR specialist garage now. Sure they will diagnose it quickly. It does make a horrible noise when you try to release it the parking brake!

Yes - sounds like it! I'm new to this game, I believe it's best to leave the handbrake off on these? Looks like the last owner hasn't been using it and it's locked now I have started using it.

If you use it, the shoes wear, go out of adjusted, and squeak

If you don't use it, they seize up and lock on, as you have found

The key to a healthy, happy EPB, is maintenance

I only used mine on hills when parked - my DS comes on automatically when I stop engine which is a pain  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

As Mikey says, using it needs maintainence, not using it needs maintainence - you may as well take advantage of it (and you don't want to put strain on the parking pawl).  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Thanks for the replies. I'm a bit dissapointed as the car is a one owner with a full service history. Surely EPB should have been maintained regardless of use?

I wouldn't be too disappointed - it often doesn't get the attention it needs, and if you don't have a trustworthy mechanic, it can be hard to know if the EPB has been done properly unless you've done it yourself. It may well be time for a new set of shoes - mine were in a right state when I first went to change the brake discs.  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK
