Here is our video how we serviced our electric parking brake module of our 2006 Land Rover Discovery 3. Instead of installing a complete new module, we serviced the old module using the Britpart repair kit. This method is not as expensive as a complete new module.
Removal and installation is not difficult but typically all the bolts are badly corroded and can result in a very stressfull repair. We show how we removed the corroded bolts. We also show how we assured to reinstall the brake cables in the correct position.
We hope this video is helpfull or maybe even entertaining. Please check out our other videos or even subscribe to our channel for weekly new content.
Thanks for watching.

I have held you in high esteem for some time now but you have sky rocketed in my opinion since I heard you say " Now we have to work out how it goes back together!". You are both stars. Great series guys.
😅👍 🙋♀️ Vera
Greeetings from the uk. Love your videos you two work so well together. Think if I worked with my wife one of us would end up buried in the pit. Under body looks great.
LOL, thanks. It came close to that between us as well... But I just cut that footage out...
Awesome job! Great video, very cool.
Thanks.
You should of just left the passenger side cable connected, to the brakes, then unscrewed the passenger cable from the unit. leaving the cable routed around the vehicle, Resulting in just undoing the drivers side and then just removing the unit.
I think this would have required to open the unit under the vehicle and this is what I wanted to avoid. I also wanted to inspect the cables. I saw the method you described in UA-cam as more common.
Are you an engineer ?
I’ve sent you an email regarding your EPB, if you are interested in selling it or can point me in the direction of a replacement from Europe for a reasonable price?
Poor Vera - "It's always my fault". ;-)
Hello John, trust me, it was bad this time. Going through the video footage was almost as stressful as doing the repair itself. She had to put up with a lot! The overall downtime was from the 21st to the 27th of December.
Hi guys , I wish I had a wife like Vera and I think a lot of mechanics would like her as a Apprentice she's the best. Christian you done a beautiful job underneath the Land Rover hope you get many more years running out of it, i will have to pop over to Germany get you to do my under ceiling of my LR3 lol .
Stay safe the pair of you
Ralph
Hello Ralph, thanks for your comment, as always. More content will follow but now work is on again and less time for UA-cam. Take care of your LR3.
You make a great team, this has to be the best maintained discovery on the planet. Look forward to your next video.
Thanks. Next video will be about 5 things we don´t like about our Discovery.
@@Vera_and_Christian only 5 !!!!!!!!! :-)
So much fun and thank you for bringing knowledge and learning to so many people!❤
this is a well done video thank you for producing it.
Had to be recovered on a truck yesterday. The park brake was stuck on making a horrible noise, so I used the emergency release which didn’t release the brake and locked the gearbox in park 🤦. Got it home and stripped down, cables cut to release the park brake, park brake unit remove ( I used you video to follow, which was great. Mine has Adblue so a little extra work to remove the tank) I’ve opened the electric motor and gearbox to expect the little plastic cogs to be stripped and everything is OK??? Not sure what has caused it, so a full rear brake rebuild and new cogs on order. Your video was excellent 👍
That suck,s , our’s was jammed once too, offroad in the Alps. But we could release it. We did the rebuild then in the following winter. When you watch that video, you see that the gears itself did not look damaged or worn out. But definitely be rather safe than sorry. 👍🙋♀️Vera
Great work 👍👍👍 every Landrover owner should have a pit in there garage 👍
Yes, it should come with the vehicle.
Brilliant! Great balance real world and technical content. Thanks from UK
Thanks. This is a rewarding comment for us.
That, right there, is the main reason I can't face the idea of trading in my D2 for a D3.
To have half a chance of doing these kind of jobs easily, you need a D3 that's always been looked-after, and has no rusty nuts and bolts... which you can't rely on when you buy a 10 year old vehicle.
Oh, how I wish JLR had designed the D3 as an evolution of the D2, perhaps based on a Defender 110 chassis.
Much respect for taking these jobs on, rather than handing it over to a specialist.
Thanks. Such vehicles in Germany are like new after 10 years. There is hardly no salt and the roads have no bumps. They are dealer-maintained too up to 150t km. Then they are cheap to buy because they are expensive to drive for non-DIY folks.
That was awesome, thank you.
Thanks 🙋♀️ Vera
What a complicated design! Not clever. Question: why do you think 2 out of 5 D3s in the family frequently have parking brake problems (the dreaded scream) and the others never do? Our specialist has no idea!
Hello Richard, Ours had only 12t cycles on the clock. Life is rated up to 50t cycles. I think it comes down to the number of cycles and also to the environment. Ours was not hopeless corroded but borderline. We also serviced our brake shoes regularly to keep them moving. All this adds up I think. If nothing is done, the module will fail early and badly. Thanks for your comment!
@@Vera_and_Christian Thanks Christian. A video on servicing the brake shoes would be useful. I think that may be the key to reliability, especially as the cars are used in muddy (farmers) conditions
Good work on a meticulous job. The underbody coating looks great. I’m really looking forward to that video.
I told my wife I’d have to tell you guys about our breakfast this morning of biscuits, pork sausages, and some Darbo Lingonberry Sauce. Delicious!
Hello James, that sounds delicious indeed. There will be an other video in between before the paint job video. Our repair-style videos are very time consuming to edit. We use many 2 second sceens cut out of hours of footage in these videos. This is why we sometimes post a simple "just talk video" in between.
@@Vera_and_Christian the talking portions are great too. Keep up the good work guys!
Great video, well explained, great tutorial, with a lot of humor, loved it again! We already knew Vera is much better rhan an automatic ratched, she even reminds you of your ry wraps and hands you the torque wrench with the right settings, isn’t she the best right hand available. You must have known what you’ve married,. Love you both. Stay safe
Thanks. Yes, having Vera help me makes any repair very plesant.
Brilliant video with great humor
Vera is right slow down, your to fast ;)
Thanks, Informative as I have had my LR3 For 3yrs now, After having owned afew Disco's and many Range Rovers, and because of some of your Videos, I Feel more competent and have started to do my Own Serviceing.
Many Thanks.
That is what we like to hear 👍. I hope you have someone who helps you 😉. Thanks for your comment. Vera
Vera, "IT'S NEVER YOUR FAULT"
Mind you, fab video and great content.
Hello Darran, thanks. No taking side here please. Lol.
Thanks, we appreciate positive feedback a lot. Makes it worth while doing videos.
👍🏻👍🏻
I enjoy every video, you guys make it fun.
A other awesome video. Keep them coming. Greetings from antwerpen Belgium
Erik
Hello Erik, thanks a lot. Next Video will be about the 5 things we don´t like about our Discovery. Not easy to find 5 things...
Another great video. Thank you. 👍
Thnk you for the positive feedback. So much work to cut a video and that makes it worth while.
Another great informative video. I agree, use your EPB all the time. My 2005 D3 is now at 200600 km and the module is still original. Although it's an auto, I still use the parking brake every time. I just had it serviced (shoes stripped cleaned and readjusted according to Bodsy's brake bible) in 2019 after it started making horrid noises, and all is well. Looking forward to your underbody corrosion video. Cheers!
Hello Alex, thanks. Next few videos will be for example:

Bad thing is, that I have to work now again. Vacation is over.
@@Vera_and_Christian Looking forward to them. Stay safe!
That was fun, thank goodness my car doesn't have an electric handbrake. 👍
Thanks. We thought about printing a T-shirt. We survived the LR3 hand brake repair.
Greetings from Bulgaria! I am looking for Discovery 3 for my next car. Really helpful videos and lot of fun. If you decide to sell it, I will come to Germany 😊
Thanks. The Discovery is a good choice if maintained properly.
Hi Christian and Vera, I have used your videos on several occasions to help me maintain my 08 LR3, thank you very much. I am now working on the EPB. What grease would you recommend for the gears on the EPB please? I can see a tube in the video but not the writing. Thanks Chris
awesome job. Thank you for showing.
Thanks and you are welcome.
I love your videos, you both make an excellent team!
Christian & Vera - you seem absolutely fearless in terms of the servicing and repairs you take on, I'm in awe of the quality of work you do. Whenever you decide to sell your D3 you have great proof that you vehicle is very well looked after.
And you are such fun to watch ... and I always learn something new.
🙏😊🙋♀️Vera
Wish my wife was like Vera even though its always her fault she keeps her cool, And she told you about the cable tie great team you two.
Sauerkraut on toast , with a half pint of tea is very nice for lunch.
However, it's a little odd and unusual watching a German DIYer going on about a British car.
It's usually the other way around.x 1000.
I really love your channel. Compared to other LR UA-camrs you guys showing a truely uplifting attitude. It shows you love doing what you are doing! 👍
😊👍 Thanks 😃🙋♀️ Vera
What kind of grease are you using to lubricate the sliding parts and gears please Christian? It looks like the tube say's assembly grease. Thank you for your awesome videos, you guys are fantastic.
Good job you two. This video once again makes me wish I have a pit in my garage or some sort of lift! I cannot imagine how unpleasant this sort of job would be without that.
Here's an idea for a video series: Purchase a distressed Discovery 3 and restore it for Vera to drive. P.S. - You have a beautiful home.
Hello Allen, thank you. We plan to buy an other vehicle in 2021 but there are a few obstacles. First I have to fix the transmission of the Challenger and then sell it. It will be like selling a fridge in the arctic. Once done, we will actually buy a Range Rover Sport. It is the same platform as the Discovery 3 but a bit more sporty. Its cheaper and better available in Germany. It also comes with a diesel V8. This is what our channel will bring in 2021. You know now more than anybody else.
@@Vera_and_Christian Sounds great. My friend has a Range Rover Sport and likes it but preferred her LR3!
That was a journey, thankfully we don't have salted roads here just unforgiving heat. especially liked the "when I have a heart" attack comment at the end. I will have to get my land rover suffering wife to do a brake test too. :)
😅👍🙋♀️Vera
That wire is a great tip.
Have you ever heard of an epb coming on gradually by itself while at highway speeds?
Great video! Very useful for Disco 3 owners! Thanks!
At the end, did you only brake by engaging the EPB on the move? Did you do this to test that everything is working well? Doesn't that put a lot of strain on the EPB module?
Keep up the good work!
The TÜV inspector also used the electric hand brake this way. He had an electronic diagnostic tool which measured the vehicle response. The the manual describes the hand brake switch as a emergency brake as well. I am not sure if the electric brake actuator is actually used when doing this while driving... Somethin I need to look into.
@@Vera_and_Christian very interesting! thanks!
Hi guys. I have a memory of Christian saying something about not using the EPB auto release. Did I imagine this? I am not sure which video he said this but I am sure he was reading from the manual. I've just watched this video through and didn't hear anything. Does anyone remember what was said? Thanks and thank you as always for the content!
Super what Greece and bead did you use?
We used just plain assemly/bearing grease 🙋♀️ Vera
You guys are a great team. But I think I may just remove the fuse and never use it 😂.
DO NOT use wd 40 on brake components. Its flammable
Another job that I will be taking the lr3 in for. Way too much work. I did my old defender but won't be doing this. Great job on the frame cleaning and painting
Thanks. And nothing was expensive!
This is my project for next week. Got my parts from LR Centre in England. Shipping was great as it only took 7 days to get to me here on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. I have the LR3 HSE with the V8, been good to me so far. Thanks for sharing the info.
Hello Zan, have that 3/8 hex socket ready and a few new M8 x 16 bolts. Spray them with penetrant the night before. Each cable has two M8 bolts and then there are the four bracket bolts in the back, holding the module. Also spray the heat shield nuts. Use a hammer and socket and hit them once prior opening them. Also use a inch socket if they spin through. We love Vancouver island. We took our Jeep Cherokee there about 20 jears ago. The landscape is endless. Victoria is a nice city with friendly people. Good memories.
I loved my Discovery 3. Until I started working on it.
Hi is there a calibration / reset procedure you have to do when everythink is back together
hi sorry i know you made this two years ago . quick question did you lower the suspension when you did this ? or was it a ride height ?
The algorithm needs lots of comments!!
I simply love your relationship and Vera is just the sweetest person.
😊🙏🙋♀️ Vera
Why can't we be next-door neighbors?
Hello Ron, I let you know when my neighbor sells his house...
"It took me just 20 years to learn all this" ;). what a duet ! Great job ! Thanks for the explanations
😂👍🙋♀️ Vera
Love your video's Guys! You certainly follow the mantra of look after your Landrover and she will look after you. Such a misconception about these vehicles unfortunately, service them the way you do they will last a lifetime..well done!
The reason for the bad reputation is that people do not expect the maintenance cost of a high end vehicle. The cars are cheap and people think they are cheap to maintain too. In reality, these are 60+ t Euro vehicles and they are more expensive to maintain - unless you DIY them. We love them and we will buy an other one in 2021. Thanks!!!
Just wondering if you can remember how long it took to get get it out and back in, I would imagine the gear renovation didn't take long but getting it out and back in must have taken ages.
Love your videos and thanks a million for all your help and information 😁👍🍻🍻
That depends on the corrosion degree of your Disco. If we had a video like ours when we did it the first time, it would have been much faster. But we also film, which adds at least twice the time it would take normally. But, who cares how long it takes if it takes 2 or 4 hours. As long as it saves you a couple of thousand € from the dealer or independent workshops. They do not do that for little money. 👍👌🙋♀️
What paint did you use for the paint job, it looks so good now. (would you consider doing a video on how to do that, clean up the rust and paint?)
We have a video about how we undercoated our Disco ua-cam.com/video/Kbl6CD3BGN4/v-deo.html 🙋♀️ Vera
My LR4 area doesn't look like this. Theres a bigger solid plate above spare, ac lines and a large canister all behind the module prohibiting access to module. I think the only way mine can come out is through right rear wheel well but the I can not get lines out of the metal brackets, they are not forked like lr3, they are on a hole and grommet with difficult access
Check my video from a few weeks ago fixing various things on a later brown LR3. I removed the PB with this plate. Was very difficult but worked. It was at the end of the video. Christian
Thanks for doing all these videos!
Thanks, we are really happy that you like our videos. 👍🙋♀️ Vera
Vera needs a pair of overalls.
Hello Chris, good idea. Thanks.
Hi, I'm talking to you from Spain. the problem i have is a 2006 land rover discovery3. parking brake failure. makes one noise like music, could you help me?
We covered the park break before. There will be a rear brake service Video up today. Christian
I adjust my shoes exactly like this. A few weeks later it screeches again. When checking the adjuster it's backed off again. Any ideas?

Hi Can you advise how to fix the code U0128 (00) on Range Rover Sport 2011?
Best check the disco3.co.uk website, or sign up to our Patreon account for more help👌👍🙋♀️
In the event of a breakdown/Fault, is there a procedure or emergency brake to prevent the vehicle rolling away once parked ? Thanks
Yes, put it into gear and use a wedge when parked steep, additionally. 👍🙋♀️
Another humorous and instructional video repair, well done Guys, Cheers and stay safe.
Hello BigKev, thanks. It was fun to do and we are happy about the positive feedback.
Greetings. At the end of the video when you were doing the emergency brake test, were you engaging the EPB? Is that what that beeping was? thanks very much for your great videos!
Yes, you have to initialize the EPB after you do anything on it. But Christian explains everything. We have more videos on the EPB which might be helpful. 👍🙋♀️
lol my white pants are 20 years old these are my grease pants
Brilliant 👍👍 I will get my wife on it straight away 👍👍
That worked for me ok ! I just have to let Vera know when it’s time for lunch so that she can take care of that too.
@@Vera_and_Christian🤣🤣🤣
Christian, the e-brake and brakes in general have. been the greatest annoyance and expense with our LR. I wish you had gone slower and with more light in the critical final assembly steps. Very glad to view your video nevertheless.
With the 30K I do each year, with salt from road...it should be announced loud and clear to open the brake system up to clean and lube before parking for the winter rest...or in spring if you do run through winter...
You are fortunate to have a well configured garage!...and moderate winters to work in.
PS - you didn’t do the e-brake series of secret switch moves and 10 stop “setting” of the e-pads!...or did I miss that ...?
I'm doing this at the moment on my Disco 4 I havent got the room above the spare wheel from behind as you do. The hole is a lot smaller I can only get 1 arm in. Is your disc 3 slightly different chassis/spare wheel locater than mine?
I don’t know, sorry. Christian
Sir your wife and you are a fantastic couple,ive really enjoyed this video.Thank you from the UK ps I've liked and subscribed!
If I guive 6 turns what's happen?
great
what is your job, when you are not maintaining your d3
Ha ha! I’m eating Bratwurst today too!
Oh Vera and Christian. I love this and everything you do. So much fun and inspiration and entertainment. Dus ist zir goot! Very poor 4th form German language study. Clearly still with me 55 years later!!! Good on ya mate from Australia.
Question:
Does rope(cable) is dry and in good condition? My point is that in winter, if cable(rope) is wet in the casing, it will freeze and parking stop will not work.
If you take care of your EPB and service it regularly, you have no problems. Like with everything Land Rover related. We live here in Europe in moderate, wet, and cold climate and the EPB works just fine. It is a Land Rover after all and build to last. But, you have to do your maintanece. So if something cracks, you have to replace it. 🙋♀️Vera
Wow just wow well done both so skilled
Very good work, well done to you both.
Fantastic video your workmen’s ship is brilliant thank you my handbrake just failed grrrrrr😁🇬🇧👍
Worst idea for a handbrake I have ever seen.
Thank u very much for the video and info, i was able to reset the epb and change the shoes etc without too much trouble.nice one guys!!!!!!
Great video luv watching you guys ,not at all keen to fix mine 🤨cheers from down Under 🤠
Any local mechanic for this park brake issue? Please im waiting for a recommendation.
Thanks
Great vidoes, I love them, I have today done my park brake shoes on a LR3, and i noticed there are some notches on the splash plate where the adjusters are. :)
Fantastic video you guy's - thank you so much for your efforts - I'm going to give it a go now that I have your video to rely on :)
Vera, you still fit your twenty years old trousers? Well done girl, impressive. 😉
😅👍 Thanks🙋♀️Vera
That brake module looks identical to the one I had in a Renault scenic, I hope its a lot better because mine was a complete pain in the arse,, great video
Hallo ihr Zwei!
Da mein Englisch nicht so grammatikalisch perfekt ist wie euers, schreibe ich auf deutsch :) Wollte mich mal für die tolle Anleitung bedanken! Habe anhand dieser meine Parkbremse gewechselt. Ohne wäre ich mehrmals verzweifelt!
Beste Grüße aus Aalen in Baden Württemberg
I own a disco3 XS, saw this video, decided a parking brake is not that vital. ;) But all jokes aside, love the videos! But still terrified to do this on my own with limited tools/working space.
Hope your car is not badly corroded. That makes it much harder. 😬 Christian
@@Vera_and_Christian Italian import, so pretty much 0 rust (for now) thanks for the replay Christian :)
i watch your video for a friend doing a garage job, 5 turns, thats what he needed to know. your wife is so sweet. slow down !!!
great video what about 3d printing them ? do you have stl file
We did not have our 3D printer back then. But I highly doubt that we would do that. I have seen in Facebook forums that people have been trying. So maybe you want to search for those. 🙋♀️Vera
Can you please show how you put the car in service mode? Thx
🤔 I am not sure what you mean. The only thing we always, always do is enable the air suspension by pulling the fuse.🙋♀️Vera
What sort of time span and mileage should we doing an EPB service ? my D4 is 2015 on 18,800 miles.
Well, we did it on ours when he had about 210000 km on it. More important is that you check your EPB everytime you change brakepads in the rear. 👍🙋♀️ Vera
@@Vera_and_Christian Thanks Vera
Greetings, marvellous to watch. What size amp leads are you test running the EPB motor with. Thanks in advance
I am not quite sure. I own a couple of test leads and alligator clamps from Amazon. Not the very cheap ones. Christian
@@Vera_and_Christian Thanks, the wires I was using to test the EPB motor were to light. I made a couple out of house electrical cable I had. motor works fine. 😊
It was perfect...appreciate.
Your tutorials are very detailed just what is needed to teach followers thaks Christian.
Can some kind person explain to me please; all these electronics, sensors, wires, motor, gear box etc etc is instead of the tried and tested Mk 1 handbrake mechanism........
Yes, so the relaxed driver can push a button instead of pulling a lever 😂 Lol.
@@Vera_and_Christian Ha ha. Thankyou. Incredible. I discovered your channel 1 hour ago. Subscribed; even though you do make me feel something of an ignoramus just trying to imagine myself explaining the repair of an unbelievably over complex mechanical device in another language apart from my native English. Thanks, keep up the good work.
Hi guys! My right hand EPB cable came out of the locking mechanism (the little "notch") and is now stuck fully retracted. Do you happen to know: Is there a trick to releasing the cable so that I can reattach to the shoe lock? Must I pull the entire module and open? All suggestions very welcome! Thanks as always!
I am not sure. The notch is just a anti rotate locator for the wire guide. Christian
@@Vera_and_Christian I've found a video for manual rewind (or re-lax) of cables. A fussy piece of equipment is the EPB module. Question: is one able to disconnect the emergency release cable form the EPB module? I'd love to leave it in place while unwinding the brake cables. Thanks--as always--for your input and your videos!
@@Vera_and_Christian Found this note on forum. Might work to release cable. "Service mode (or as it's called in the IID Tool, Mounting mode) is only able to be triggered through a diagnostic tool. I wasn't ever able to get it to work via button press sequences. In the IID Tool, for the LR3, you actually have to go into the I/O menu, not the Service menu, and change the status there from Latching to Mounting. It's not fully clear and it's a bit of an odd quirk with only the L319." I/O control theoretically should allow for cable release.
Another awesome video thanks, same unit as BMW. As you probably now know, you can remove EPB only, by unclipping Bowden cables. Only emergency release cable has to come off with unit.
We know and we choose not to do it that way. 👍🙋♀️Vera
Excellent video thanks.
Thank you Doug.
