I doubt pulling the emergency release will help if it's the actual mechanism in the wheel unit itself that is seized. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Agree with @RRSTDV8, the levers on the shoes are likely seized. Banging on the outside of the drum area is about your only hope till you get it to free up enough to get the rotor to turn. Once the rotor can turn you can get the adjustment window aligned to back off the star wheel adjuster. Had to do this not too long ago on a Disco 4, it’s not fun, but not impossible. 2011 RRS HSE Luxury 3.0 TDV6 Fuji White on Ebony/Ivory

Yes, but not going to be of much use if you can't turn the disc to line it up with the adjuster yet, as suggested just give the disc a few good whacks with something like a copper mallet or dead blow hammer.

Need to have the Steering Angle Sensor recalibrated. This takes some sort of diagnostics capable of doing this. 2011 RRS HSE Luxury 3.0 TDV6 Fuji White on Ebony/Ivory

Only use the handbrake if on a ferry or channel tunnel. Always listen to old people or when they die you will live on in ignorance.
