Had mine in for its second service.

Service receptionist called and said that LR recommend that the rear brakes are dismantled to allow any dust to be cleaned out as they have experienced parking brake issues caused by a build up of dust. ?

While that's very wise and good preventitive thinking I was up for allowing the dealer to do the work right up until they said it was going to cost me around £230 labour on top of the service of over £450 odd !! - I don't see why I should be liable for the cost of prventing what they the manufacturer clearly recognise as a design issue !!!

What's interesting is that on my service invoice it is reported that this job was recommended but I did not take the option.

Being very suspicious do you reckon they'd baulk it, at some future date, the handbrake developed a fault?

Agree, Sounds like they are setting up a future excuse.

Simple solution, Avoid parking brake issues........ Don't use the parking brake. I have never used mine on this car since my EPD jamming experience on my old 2007 RRS and was advised by the attending LR Assist Techie, (A Proper LR one not the crap AA ones we get now) that they were a waste of time and he advised owners never to use them, just put the car in Park.

Once you switch off , it comes on automatically after 10 seconds or so on the my10

Dave, are you sure about that. I have just engaged it manually to test this. If it is engaged manually and you then just drive off without disengaging there is a definate feel & sound of it disengaging. I never get this normally when I have not engaged the park brake. That would suggest to me that if I have not engaged it manually then it does not engage at all. That said, I am quite happy if i'm proved wrong, It's just an observation.

Endjin, it was the same with both my RRS's and now on the FFRR, EPB engages automatically after a while of the car being parked. Maybe it's another of those mystery Dealer enabled things but as I say it has been enabled on both cars purchased from LPR and the one bought from Morrison's Land Rover in Stirling 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Hmm, This is odd I wonder if there is a difference in the way it disengages then, depending on how it was engaged? i.e. If engaged manually it has to be disengaged manually or overriden by just driving off but, if it is engaged automatically by the car after ignition is turned off, it then disengages itself at ignition on? Otherwise why would you not get the obvious feel & sound of disengagement under both conditions? I'm not going to try and think about this too much.... I've only had one coffee so far this morning and my brain is starting to hurt!

Steve,

Just tried it again while picking the kids off at school, after about ten seconds with the engine off, you can hear the EPB engaging, I switched the ignition on and the "P" was lit, when I went back to it and drove off you could feel the resistance, it also mentions it in the manual!
