I cant get that up

Don't know if it helps or not, but you can manually release the parking brake by pulling on a cable underneath the centre console behind the gear stick. here's a link on YouTube showing how easy it is;


If that doesn't work, you may need to manually adjust the shoes by turning the little knurled wheel to release the shoes. Once done you might be able to reset the whole thing by following the set up procedure.

Good luck and let us know how it goes. 2016 RRS SVR Estoril Blue

If we all point our RR's in the same direction and accelerate at the same time can we turn back time?

That's a real pain. It's why I tell people to remove fuse 8 as it would have prevented this issue

You may have to manually wind the EPb module back out.
I'm guessing that it had a real screech when it was applied? Bodsys Brake Bible

I had to go into the computer programs and reset the brakes. It took 10 minutes all finished now thankyou all for your help.

Good result.
Think you were lucky at two levels there. Could have lost a finger or two when the brake was activated and didn't need to dismantle the EPB module.
Always always put the EPB into service mode and remove the fuse when working on the rear shoes folks. 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE
