What happened when the dreaded Park Brake Fault error message appeared on the dashboard and how I replaced my broken PARKING BRAKE MODULE on a Land Rover Discovery 3, LR3. Made for your entertainment, rather than your education.

Who needs Netflix when you can watch Simon fixing his disco. Nice clear footage, really enjoyed it - but now put off getting one myself 👍🏻
Yeah, don't buy one. These cars are amazing when they work, so there's no reason to ever sell it on other than you've gotten sick of fixing it. If there's a second hand one for sale I can guarantee there's a problem with it somewhere. I still have mine and it is a constant source of problems. I wouldn't wish it upon anyone. I hoping to trade it in for the new VW ID.7 when it comes available.
I laughed, I cried. I can't wait for the book. Doing DIY maintenance on my own Discovery 4 I can unequivocally say it takes a special kind of masochist to work on these vehicles. Cheers from Canada.
Every day I think to myself, "I should have bought that Defender 90 that was parked next to it in the dealership." Every day. Thanks for watching!
Feel your pain - almost. Had a few Parking Brake faults but managed to calibrate my way out them so far. Fingers crossed.
Yep, mine would calibrate and adjust no more. It was an electrical fault in this instance. It's always electrical on these things.
Wow awesome job yet again! You're very brave tackling that!! What a painful repair that is. I'd definitely take mine to the garage if mine ever needs doing. I always look forward to your new uploads, very entertaining and informative. I hope it doesn't need anything doing for a long time now. I just changed my front air struts today and I thought that was tough haha after watching this I'm now feeling like I got off lightly 🤣
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!
😂 Land Rover, turning owners into mechanics since 1948.
Not wrong there.
I love your vids mate! Great how you used the Landrover “bong” to hide your expletives! 😂😂😂
I can’t help thinking that you maybe didn’t have to replace the actuator as the problem usually lies with the brake shoes themselves. I wouldn’t mind giving you my number if you ever need advice! I know mine inside out! Take care brother!
The Land Rover "Bongs" ARE swear words in my house. The fault codes revealed an electrical fault with the module, which went away with the new one. What's wrong with a simple lever and cable, any way? I find it's always the electronics that are breaking on mine. It hates water, too. Sets off all sorts of errors.
MrThommo78 yeah, anytime mine had handbrake issues I adjusted the brakes and / or replaced the rear rotors ( brake discs) and fitted new shoes.
Thanks for putting up the video, all these videos help us all and are great for giving us an insight before we tackle a job ourselves.
Glad it worked out! Can't imagine going through all that and still getting an error code! I've run a diagnostic with the IID tool, lots of communication faults listed but only one C fault.... Parking brake (C1A55-64). Dare I make the investment of time and torture!?
After fitting the parking brake module did you have to program the module for it to work on the vehicle
I don't think I did. I just plugged in my IID Tool and deleted the error codes, as far as I can remember. I filmed this last year, so my memory is a little hazy on it all now.
@@WeAreBigKids thanks mate
We Are Big Kids would that be equivalent to getting a generic code reader and deleting codes ?
@@Shravanjk86 if your code reader has the ability to go in the parking brake module then yes if not no.
Whats the code reader you have? Great video by the way
The go-to code reader for Land Rover Discovery 3 and 4 is the Gap Diagnostic IID Tool. They're not cheap, but they do EVERYTHING! Install software for new modules, Suspension calibration, Steering calibration, engine diagnostics, etc. I use mine for clearing the faults list.
You are a good couple :D , will be a good idea to have plastic garage front of your garage ;)
Thanks. The garage and house aren't ours. We're renting - for now. Everything here is awful. And mostly broken or leaking. Welsh Landlords, huh?
Just as an fyi - a simple way to avoid this issue is by NOT using the parking brake other than a couple of times a month.
The ring gear / flywheel on these TDV6’s is massive and perfectly capable of holding the vehicle solid indefinitely even on steep inclines.
Parking brake not working is an MOT failure. I wouldn't have gone to the trouble, otherwise.
And likewise here in Australia
id just get a similar actuator on aliexpress and just attach it to the parking cable whire it to the swich in your cabin and thats it :D
Nice.
I love , i realy love your videos 😂😂😂
Thank you. I really hate making them. LOL. I love that you love them.
These can be redone. In situe. Done loads of them. Costs nothing
Well done.
Haha!....((P))
I'm really happy people have spotted that. Thanks for watching.
We Are Big Kids that was the best part, well edited video !
Good quality video , great camera work ! You deserve so much more subscribers... Nice work mate
You are too kind. Well done for watching the video within the first few minutes of its launch.
As a fellow LR3 sufferer I appreciate you making this video, well done, I hope you find time to make more in the future.
I have filmed more videos. I haven't edited them yet.
oooooomy jan is my name from south africa a have the same problems like you thanks for the film you make my day to burn the discovery 3 its a shit parking sistem
Most of the car is a piece of shit system. It's a really good idea... But it's executed on the cheap with corners cut.
Another great video, the more annoying thing is if you look on the back of the transfer box there are 4 bolt holes for a conventional transmission brake, that's the easy bit, what I haven't worked out is how to mount a brake lever in the cab, and keep the electronics happy, because it uses cable tension monitoring I think, that handbrake is deep buried in the cars electronic systems and won't be removed without loads of system modifications but cleverer people know how I'm sure. Thanks for sharing your painful experience, helping others is the best!
You're right. I turned the ignition on while the EPB module was removed and the whole dashboard lit up and started beeping error messages. I am told the angle sensors are also in the EPB module, but I haven't verified that information yet.
Having watched your other videos on the rear suspension and trailing arms I admire your determination, you kept at it and beat all the obstacles you came to face, well done
Very kind, thank you.
lesson learned DISCO = drinking , to be cheered up when stuff goes wrong or when stuff goes right! Cheers mate another great video.
Cheers!
It's Landrover thing you wouldnt understand 😍 05LR3
Good video, and fair play for sticking with it,
Looks like it was worth all the pain in the end 👍
Absolutely. It made a nice video for you all to watch.
Thanks!
I have waited so long for another video since u changed the suspension that took forever but finally worked perfectly, I whole heartedly admire your resilience.
Thanks for your return visit! More in the pipleline....
Great video and your wife is unlike most women, she’s helpful and understanding plus she gets involved rather than just nagging and making things much worse. One day we will buy a land cruiser but I have been saying that for years .
I came up with an idea. Every time my Land Rover breaks I should invest the same amount of money into a savings jar for a different car. Would have a whole fleet of cars by now.
Agreed -
Slavic wives are absolutely brilliant if you’re smart enough to sidestep the hot gold digger ones.
Land rover, a shame existing of vehicles......only has two conditions: broken, or getting broken....
Designed by the gods and then passed on to Jaguar Land Rover to make a real mess of the build quality.
Did my epg module today , omg .. 3 hours to get the 4 mounting bracket bolts off , mine didn't snap , just rounded ... I didn't even bother try removing the hand brake cable clips the bolts were so corroded and rounded , i just easily broke the rusty clips by wiggling them instead . I put the new one on in no time .
Goggles are a necessity for this job , my car will be so much faster and more economical now , as so much rust fell off when i was using an air chisel on one of the bolts lol .
Well done Simon for doing this job and video .
My neither of us ever have to fix it again....
@@WeAreBigKids EPB is all calibrated , beded in and working now . As you say hopefully never again .
I'm doing my front lower control arms next .
Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth on those rusty bolts - I winced as much as you tightening the rear upper control arm 😓 but that’s why we do it! To learn, buy tools and test the patience of our partners - top work, keep it up!
I hate fixing cars. I love driving them, though. Thanks for watching.
Oh I wish I could have given you advice . Heat for the nuts . torch works fantastic. Great job cheers .3 years later 🍻
I feel your pain brother, I’ve got a freelander 2 with a normal handbrake, I’ve fancied a disco but not so keen on it now
Save your money for a nice TV or holiday or something.
👍😎parking brakes parking brakes but…lr3 owners ✌️✌️✌️
What a cool couple, RE watched your first video and stuck around for the second which are very entertaining especially during this pant's lock down shenanigans. I have a D3 which has me hostage and in perpetual overtime to meet the whacking great repair bills over the 5 years of ownership, like the previous post I went from secondary school onto the tools and then into all sorts afterwards including camera op and Avid editor so I really appreciate how much graft you put into your posts not only working on the ground losing circulation but the camera work and post production, thanks for the entertainment and you two stay safe
Thanks! The Rear Suspension video was 18 hours of footage. This Parking Brake video was about 12 hours of footage. I didn't want to film another fix, I just wanted to get it back on the road. But my partner kept bringing the camera out and telling me that I must do it. I didn't bother using my radio mics for the Parking Brake video. Also it took far too long in my spare time to edit it. I work as an broadcast editor for my day job, so not a fan of editing when I get home.
Any way, thanks for watching. We're both happy you enjoyed it.
Get a Toyota Land Cruiser and then "Oh What a feeling!!!!!!!".
I have my eye on V.W.'s ID Buzz, the electric camper. But I hear it's not coming out until 2022. I'm not sure I can keep my Land Rover on the road that long. I also like the Bollinger electric 4x4. It looks like the old series III Land Rover.
I also am pining for a regular manual handbrake as mine too has failed! (prick)
Awesome vid mate, trip to Cairngorms would have been excellent!
Yeah, those Cairngorms are good, aren't they.
I’m experiencing this after only 5 weeks of owning it 😭 Love your videos. Did you have to “bed the brakes in” or was it not necessary
Get used to fixing your new car. It'll require a constant eye on it. As for the brakes, they do need bedding in.
Yellin and screaming while working land rover sounds about right, I did my apprenticeship with land rover I used to be a real well manned guy before I started there. Awesome video btw fun to watch
Thanks!
good job by the end you will be a land rover specialiast
"Special" indeed. I need my head testing for buying this car.
Amazing video, yet again! Love the involvement of the very dedicated other half! LR3 and relationship goals right there.
Thanks. We'd both rather not have to fix the car, but sometime needs must.
This is the point now that I have decided NOT to get a Discovery 3 or any other Land Rover if it comes to that, what a load of ballocks, I would have sent it too the scrap yard and left it there
Yep, I have to agree with you. This is my last Land Rover. Just saving for the next vehicle....
7:08 I'm sure others have said but can often get off the rusty ones by undoing a turn then doing up 1/2 a turn, resting and WD40 often :)
Tried it. In this case nothing worked.
I like your Videos a lot 👍 i hate my Disco too
But when he is Running i love it
Greatings to GB 🇬🇧 from Germany
Now that's the problem. When it runs it's the best.
Who else blinked when the dirt fell from the brake line bracket @ 10:31?
Me, every time. I jump whenever I see a video of a ball flying towards the camera. Fail Army!
My god, the suffering!!!
You should get a Citroen next which is the next level of frustration.
Keep on raging against the machine👍
I was toying with the idea of getting a C4 Catus, but they went and changed the design, didn't they.
The race is currently on for which comes to market first - the VW Buzz ID7 or the Canoo. Which ever is available first is the one that gets my money (If I ever earn money ever again! Bloody lock-downs.)
i have re watched this for the 10th time while i wait for more new content :) i hope we get more land rover adventures
I have filmed a few more, just the editing. It takes too long. But rest assured that there are new videos in the works.
I have to say that your videos are so well put together and edited. It make me feel part of the adventure. Thank you so much for all the hard work your doing to give us awesome content.
Good old discovery3 it will drive anyone to drink 🍺🥃🥂
Sadly sometimes it's either fix the car or go to the pub and not both.
This video has inspired me... To buy a Toyota corolla as my next car.
Okay. Enjoy.
My Disco 3 has been standing for the last 4 months. All 6 fuel injectors stuffed. Landrover wants to charge me more than half the price I paid for the landy. Also, my parking brake module died at the beginning of last year. Most Disco 3 drivers here in South Africa disable the module and drive around without it relying on the Park gear when parked on inclines. If I sold this damn thing I'd lose a ton of bucks.
I feel your pain, that's why I started to try fixing mine myself. These 4x4s are not cheap, there's no way I've got my money's worth out of mine yet, either.
I hope you find a cost-effective solution soon! All the best!
Disabling the module gives you all kinds of other errors. I’m calling b.s. on that.
Dash photos or it didn’t happen.
Hello,
You're right, the Discovery 3 has too many systems that are a mess, shit: EPB, EAS, EGR, door locks,... and many others. What's more, when one of them fails, fixing it is another shit, because its situation, rust, etc. makes work very difficult.
Thanks for your time and regards.
Pere
This is where living in Australia has it's advantages (Amongst others). Bolts just loosen when you turn them anti-clockwise with a socket.
That's just showing off. Next you'll be telling everyone it never rains.
Thanks for watching.
@@WeAreBigKids I live in south east Victoria mate, sometimes it feels like we might as well be living in Scotland!
excellent vid our epb left rear decided to drag and lock up had to take a mini sledge to the rotor after removing hand brakes the rotor came off along with disentegrated parking brake shoes which came out in pieces ordered the new epb brake kit so far no warnings on dash hope the kit just goes well it’s video like this that makes us keep roving
Thanks for the time you put in to make this maintenance nitemare
fair play to you pal, these disco 3 are awesome when they work, but stressful when they dont, da iawn met 👍
Ta very much.
How much would you charge someone if you was to fix theres? Fancy fixing mine 🤣🤣 should of just removed the fuse
There's not enough money on the planet to tempt me to fix anyone else's car. Take it to a garage, they deserve all the punishment they get, from the prices for terrible work I've been charged in the past.
Mmmm! I’m thinking of upgrading to D3 or D4 from a P38. Here in Australia we don’t have the rust problems that you have and the oil leaks keep everything nicely lubricated.😀😀
The days of Land Rover oil leaks are long gone. I used to have a Series 3 Military Lightweight, and that would leave oils spots everywhere I parked, hahahahaha. Nowadays all the problems seem to be related to the electrics and computers. And EVERYTHING is now electric - Parking brakes, do they REALLY need to be electric?!
As for D3 or D4, there's not a lot in it. There are some problems with the D4 that the D3 doesn't have, mainly the engine's crank snapping on the 3.0l D4 engine.
I prefer the interior of the D3, that's why I didn't upgrade to the D4 when it came out. The 3.0l D4 has no gear stick, the cup holders are in the wrong place and generally all the controls are in the wrong place in the D4. I hated it. I decided to wait for the D5 and when that came out I was not at all interested in it, because, well, you've seen the D5, right? Ugly.
We Are Big Kids love your videos & you’re determination is phenomenal. Thank goodness for a supportive partner & of course the the important but “beer”. I have the V8 D3 in silver.
Living in Neath. If ever you see me give me a toot.
I have Disco3.co.uk stickers back & front. Even better if you ever fancy a day out mud plugging, I’d definitely be up for that.
Hello. I just watched the video .just q question if possible i know its been 5 years but did you buy a genuine or oem part as looking at doing mine and was it just plug and play .thanks in TIA
Steve
I felt your pain with that one mate, great video though, thanks for sharing. Which OBD device do you have that connects to your phone??
I have the Gap Diagnostic IID Tool. There's a Pro, which costs £1,500 ish and is for reading and changing on multiple VINs. Mine is the standard Bluetooth IID Tool which costs £400 and gets locked to the VIN of your car. It's the go-to IID on the Discovery 3 & 4 Owners group. It is expensive, but it will save you that money back in around 6 months, depending on how many faults you get.
done mine in about 6.5 hours, i did it in dry inside workshop on the floor & mine had to be programmed to the vehicle, love ur videos
Nice work; My LR4 has started to do this...oh how i dread this work. Fortunately I cut my mechanics teeth on an xjs v12 so stuff in the way is normal. Why oh why do late model LRs rust so much underneath??
MERCI grace à vous je vais pouvoir reparer le frein de parc de mon disco 3..
Your partner is brilliant. I have never been bought alcohol, just been abused !
Hahaha hahaha.
Land Rover have got to be taking the piss when they made these vehicles, a total nightmare.
Yep. Land Rover assemble the drive train without the body on top of it. I could see that replacing the parking brake would have been really easy from the top.
brilliant thanks for the video, very realistic to the average joe like myself.
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching and good luck with the Discovery.
I am on my third EPB. Bought the last one on ebay and local garage fitted it for me. The loud screech is a nightmare !
The whole car is a nightmare.
@@WeAreBigKids I've told you a million times not to exaggerate 😂😂😂
Came looking for Disco park brake tips, only saw the H-Street shirt..
You're the first to notice. Mono-mono-mono-mono-mono-monoham.
My LR4 EPB just failed. $900 for a new module! I don't think so, it can bloody well stay busted, I don't use it anyway.
Parking Brake gets tested at M.O.T. time in the UK. I had to fix mine to continue driving it.
Brilliantly orchestrated videos, thank you so much x
I reckon your Disco 3 and mine must be twins. Last year my EPB stopped engaging, so I contacted my local LR independent and was shocked at the quote for parts and labour. I looked on eBay and found a module for about £400 cheaper and sent off for it, with the aim of giving it to the specialist to fit. When it came to it, it turned out that it was not the EPB module that had failed, the issue was with the brakes themselves. Watching you tackle this made me glad that I didn't attempt it, especially as I'd have only found later that the issue was not what was expected.
All credit to you again for having a go. Your films have spurred me to tackle more. Last week I did the oil, oil filter and air filter (all of which I filmed), and earlier today I was underneath looking at the fuel filter and giving the fasteners a hit of penetrating fluid ready for the weekend. Please keep posting your endeavours.
I'm hoping that I don't have any more endeavours with my Land Rover. But we know that we will. If people keep watching I'll keep making them.
Thanks for watching and good luck with the Fuel Filter. That's an easy one.
Hi Razor, My EPB stopped engaging one month ago. So I pull the security cable to release the car. when i try to engage the EPB again, i can only hear the wired sound like the gear or the cable is stuck in the module. After reading your comment, i am wondering maybe mine is the same problem with the brakes, cause the brakes are due recently. Any ideas about why the issue was with brakes themselves? your help will be really appreciated.
@@shawnxiao6950 Hi Shawn, My EPB wouldn't engage at all. It wasn't stuck on, so I didn't need to pull the release cable. At the same time, I was getting drag from the rear brakes on pulling away. I thought the fault was with the EPB module, but on further investigation it was found that the park brake shoes on one side had delaminated and on the other side the shoes were worn low and the discs are heavily worn/corroded. It was this that stopped the EPB from working. I hope that helps. Either way, an expensive job I'm afraid.
Thanks for this great video! your sacrfice is probably saving life to many people :) Now: is this problem common also on Discovery 4 (2012)? is anybody who knows about it? Second question: is there anyway to prevent this fault? thank everyone in advance, Francesco.
Yeah, the D4 has the same parking brake. The fix, or prevention, is quite simple. Buy Toyota or Jeep. Sell the Land Rover. It'll be parking brake this year and six months later something else equally as expensive and tiresome.
The best video I've ever seen on UA-cam about repairing a car
Reallly!? Thanks. You mean, better than "Replacing Rear Suspension Arms and Polybushes - Land Rover Discvoery 3"? Wow.

@@WeAreBigKids thanks for sharing the link
she is a great helper, where would one get one of them
Charm school.
A man can do anything with that kind of support.
Hi. I too have an '06 Disco 3 TDV6 HSE and I to have a (*%$%& EPB failure. I had to laugh at your vid 'cos its exactly the same as me!! I just ended up cutting the bolts off!!! And the bracket on passenger side!! BAck to the video....
Good luck!
i know this really hard job takeout and return actuator with cables,you done it.....best wish from sri lanka.
I bought an LR3 for my daughter to go to Texas A&M last year and it had $2,450 worth of problems so far which the mechanic fixed. If she tells me that the LR3 has a parking brake fault we'll sell it right away and most likely I'll get her another Land Rover. Are we dumb or what, but love overlooks many faults. By the way, didn't anybody tell you that you look like Rick Wakeman.
I once read that car manufacturers say that it's no longer financially viable to continue to fix a car after 10 years, or 80,000 miles, whatever comes first. My LR3 is now 14 years old, has 180,000 miles and, in my own opinion, is no longer financially viable to continue to fix it it. However, no more Land Rovers for me for the foreseeable future. Once this one is gone I'm not buying another British car. I shall be taking a Journey to the Centre of the Earth to find something a lot more reliable.
Brilliant video mate just had my fail beginning of this week, at least now I know what problems I’m going to have. cheers for the heads up 🤮
If mine went again I'd just take it to a garage for this one...
Or the breakers yard and just abandon it. LOL.

We Are Big Kids Well I’ve only had the thing for three weeks so it’s a bit early for that, but I’m quite handy with the spanners so I don’t mind too much it’s just the expense
If you haven't already, join the Discovery 3 & 4 Owners Group on Facebook and download the full engineering manual from the files section. It's the same engineering manual they use at the dealerships. It's very thorough and better than Haynes.
Enjoy your new Disco!
Having a Land Rover Range Rover er sport I love it and hate it at the same time , it’s good nice shape and look but it’s the worst car on the planet they way it’s designed , if turbo goes bad it’s body removal job £4-£5k , there are many little things if go wrong it’s body off job you eventually paying far less price on parts then labour , there is nothing in this car you can replace it easily like bmw or Audi or Mercedes etc.,,,, very very costly when comes to repair and get rusted so bad , nuts bolts quality is very cheap they get slipped or rounded or snapped and this is what I have personally experienced
I call mine the Land Rover Recovery 3 HSE.
I’m humbled by your determination. Great vid, editing, gfx, audio, humour, dialogue and storytelling.
You’re not alone in your lonely driveway experiences. FB has some Disco specific groups and you never know, you might just get a few tips, some inspiration or maybe just a shoulder to cry on to get you thru the hard times. :)
Kind words, thank you very much. We do try.
As for the Facebook groups, I am already on Discovery 3 & 4 Owners Group and another one called something like Discovery 3 & 4 Technical blah blah, I can't remember its' exact name.
Someone uploaded the entire Land Rover Discovery 3 Workshop manual, the one that dealership mechanics refer to. Without that I wouldn't really know what I'm doing.
Thanks for watching!
Glad you got it done and that you have the same mechanical luck as me.
Thanks for watching. I'm sure people have more luck than me... And more experience than me too.
Hey bro I'm changing the parking brake module on my 09 Range Rover Sport and I feel your pain I am stuck on that one bolt you had trouble with. Kuddos to you for tackling the job. Love your videos they are very helpful. Will update you when I'm done
Glad you're finding them useful. Good luck with that bolt. I just broke the flimsy bracket open and left it. I bent the bracket back around the new cable. Cowboy job.
Love your videos it is a really accurate picture of discovery ownership. You have helped me as watching your videos let’s me have an excuse to take it to the garage to have repairs done £££££££££. Did rear brakes myself and all calliper bolts snapped off, why do LR not put proper bolts in? (LR4)
££££££££££? Worth every penny.
Unfortunately the garage won't let me film them, so I have to do it myself.
On watching your video, we decided we wasn’t gonna pay a mechanic to do our upper wishbone bushes. On doing the job after watching your video it made our job easier. If you forget about the hand break cable that wouldn’t come out of the wheel hub, I have now ordered said hand break cable and will certainly be channeling your pain this weekend. I think if this causes me any aggro, I’m selling the bloody thing...life is far to short to keep fixing this bloody discovery 3. I’ll go and buy the new defender instead......lol
I have to agree with you - life IS too short to be fixing a Land Rover. I wouldn't buy the new Defender, either. There are videos of people with brand new Defenders that have problems already.
No more Land Rovers for me. Not unless they got back to basics and remove all the electronics.
'The following morning, Simon returns to his own sinking ship'.
'Simon has to be really careful not to snap all the bolts'.
'At the thought of being stuck for another three weeks, Simon started to cry'.
Very entertaining video once again, made me laugh and re live the aches and pains you get working under a Landy. Brilliant stuff.
It's seems everything in Britain causes aches and pains at the moment. Hahaha. Thanks for watching.
You suffered so that other people hopefully may not suffer lol
10:33 i can feel the burning of rusty metal in my eyes... My EPB is playing up too but thankfully/hopefully/praying just needs re-adjusting if not i think id rather cut it then do what you just did :)
Good luck! I never want to look at a parking brake module ever again.
Hi I did my car as well but I couldn't start engine someone said it has to be right module so I got it from dealer but couldn't start.
Is there any need to programming after replace thatsomeone told me.
Please answer me...
Do you have a Gap Diagnostic IID tool? I just plugged mine in and reset the fault codes.
I just finished doing a transmission service in my LR3: solenoids, valve sleeves blah blah blah... anyway, I feel your pain. Really, I do. Great work and enjoy the Disco 3.
Thanks. Transmission service? I wouldn't fancy that job.
Great videos as always, currently motorcycle touring in Spain and I'm feeling your pain as I've got to replace my rear hand brake actuator and all the rear brakes and bearing etc when I get home plus the two Egr valves, the hardest job is the rhs Egr valve it makes all them jobs seem easy lol.
It's never ending. Like Sisyphus, but with 4x4 parts.
Wow!!! Thought you got enough after replacing the suspension arms hahahaha you are amazing.... but it weird ... i had fun watching it... hahaha same as with the other one.
What is next??? hahahaha Good luck both of you!!
Thanks for the vdeo and sharing it.
Next video? Well, that's for the Discovery 3 to decide.
Thanks for watching!
Great job ...! this videos are great.. I wish you make from this car rebuilding project...So funny and for disco 3 fan's great informations... and the quality of the video making is just great too...Thank you
Thanks, you're too kind. As for the rebuilding project - forget it. Once it's gone, it's gone.
I'm saving up for the VW I.D. 7 Bus. Or a Jeep Rubicon. This is my second Land Rover. I'll probably buy another one, one day. But there isn't one I like in their line-up at the moment. I'd originally decided to skip upgrading to the D4, because it was exactly the same as the D3. But when the D5 came out I was extremely disappointed. I don't like the all new Defender, either.
We are happy you've enjoyed our videos.
Awesome video.. I appreciate it was a while ago but have to say. If you would have attacked it from the front side of the offside rear wheel the module can be taken out without removing the bracket.. Just need to undo the top two bolts holding it to the bracket. Then it all slides out through the wheel well. Then you will have had to get it programmed because it runs on the canbus system. Goodjob it wasnt a wiring loom fault which is common on these.. Landrovers had a recal early on and had the loom replaced as so many were failing.. Good job though. Hope its still working a year later...
Yeah, it's still working. I had the loom fault soon after. Luckily the Disco3 webpage pointed me in the right direction and it was the third wire I checked.

Good effort. Looking at various D3's for sale. Both your vids have come in useful in terms of "okay, is that a job I want to do myself". Your patience outstrips mine ;)
None of these jobs are really what I wanted to do, either. But it's not one that the local garages wanted to do either. Probably too complicated for them.
Your Mrs is an absolutely delightful little thing isn’t she?
Sometimes.
why do you still have it if you hate it so much? I dont own one and I dont even like it. I am currently troubleshooting the air suspension and transmission faults on one
I've spent good money buying this car and can't afford another, therefore I still have to drive it.
The air suspension's the easiest part of the Discovery. It's just air in plastic pipes.
Great vid with even some footage of one of those old fashioned pub visits!
Tenacity the key to a successful EPB job. It’s just nuts and bolts.
Love the test drive 👍🏁
May we all get to test-drive our Land Rovers and visit them pubs real soon.
I just replaced mine after work a few nights ago. I ended up pulling it out the RHS wheel well. That way the only bolts that needed removing were the two at the top of the EPB and the few cable retainers on the chassis.
Good work. Glad it's sorted.
Hilarious! I own a garage and this job is a pain in the backside on a ramp - suddenly all the technicians go off sick when there is a electric handbrake module to change on a land Rover!! Fair play to you!
Well, it's good to know that I'm not the only person to have struggled with this. I wouldn't want to do another EPB module, even if I was getting paid. As you're working on it it's clear to see that the EPB was fitted before the body was put on.
Thanks for watching.
Don’t let the old lady beat your bro keep trying & trying it’s only nuts & bolts
On a lighter note your wife cracks me up when she winks on camera 😂😂
If only it WAS just nuts and bolts, instead of rust and dirt...
The best diy repair video ever . I love your videos they show the reality of doing repairs especially DIY. Having a good partner makes things better even when they are going bad. Thank you guys.
You're welcome.
I had the same problem on my Discovery 3. I took it to the garage to fix. It cost a lot of money. It made me feel sad. Your video makes me feel less sad - no way I would have had the skill or patience to do it!
...and that's why the mechanics charge money. Next time your Disco goes into the garage and costs you lots of money just think of those mechanics - swearing at the rusty bolts.
Thanks for watching!
You must really love that Car 😄
Not any more.
Fair play you must have the patience of a saint👍👍👍
Thanks. It's more that once you start you can't really take it to anyone else. There's no one else near me that can fix these anyway.
I’m almost glad I’m having parking brake issues on my LR3 because otherwise I wouldn’t have ran into this great video! Cheers from Texas
Thanks Texas. Hope you get that parking brake sorted.
Legend, love your vids and know that....... will everything about this job just f******g do ONE feeling 😂
Glad you like the videos.
