G'day All,
Remarkable set of information in this fine forum. Been here for a while although this is my first post, finally getting around to saying hello and asking a question about a problem that has frustrated me for quite a while.
I have a 2005 TDV6 S D3 with a manual gearbox that has "experienced" 281,000 km over a range of terrain here in southern WA. Utterly wonderful vehicle, with a few mods including BB6 wheels and a D4 front arm setup.
My question relates to the dreaded EPB (Ive been through 2 modules). Manual gearbox D3's activate the EPB automatically when the key is removed. The owners manual and Bodsy's Brake Bible say that the EPB can be "left off" after turning off the engine and removing the key by depressing the switch while removing the key. Mine won't do this and insists on activating the brake regardless of my attempts to follow the OM and Bodsy. Does anyone know how I get the brake to not activate when the key is removed please? I wish to use the EPB less given its frailties.
Thanks,
SWAROVER
