Very NOISY park brake deployment.
The first time this occurred I was in a garage refuelling, the noise was so loud even the people in the shop heard it and looked out to see what it was.
Imagine a 9†angle grinder cutting a metal sheet, an impact wrench tightening nuts and someone trying to start a car that’s already running then amplify the noise 10 fold.
The dash display informed me that there was a problem with the park brake “No Sh*t Sherlockâ€.
I half expected to be stuck on the forecourt, however the car allowed me to drive away with an amber warning on the dash. It then happened when I stopped 10 minutes later on site. The car was parked for about an hour and on my return the fault had disappeared.
I was in Leeds at the time and had a fair way to travel home, as you can imagine I did not stop on the way.
My D3 is now having new park brake components fitted I will post details when I know what went wrong.
As the car was booked in for a service today, my dealer collected it this morning and has left me with a new 110 until they bring mine back
My dealer is J V Like, Hay On Wye.In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

The problem was traced to a bad connector (open to the elements) in the loom. The motor was not kicking in fully causing the noise. The fix was a wiring overlay. Apparently its quite a common fault that is usually picked up before things start going wrong.In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Mine had this also. New overlay loom required. Mine was in the garage for other work also, so don't know how long it took for just this repair.
