2010 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 HSE Auto Aintree Green

I was really looking forward to stripping the EPB etc down this weekend. Oh well, I'll the dealer do it and I'll do it all in another 80k miles time

Wish my EPB went that long between having attention - nothing like 80k intervals

Well as I always say, "expect completely crap performance and reliability out of your EPB....and you won't be dissappointed"

The recovery company collected the D3 and the blokes first words were - "now what have you done to it ???"

Sorted

Picking the D3 up from MjFews tomorrow at 0800 (then off to Boughrood

)

Is was a sticking Piston so they replaced the Caliper etc.

I also go brand new Discs, EPB cleaned and adjusted and new brake pads, all FOC under warranty

Good result Dunc

Now before my warranty runs out, how did you get the caliper to stick to get all that done for nothing

edit: Only joking

I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.
