Before doing that, get your mechanic to have a look at Disco_Mikey's excellent 'how to' on un jamming the EPB. Might save you a few hundred bucks.

I've got a pair of 5 ton stands, but I'm a little out of Brisbane Southside.

You're welcome to borrow if you can get down here.

Ohh Dave...that will be great...pm me your address and the best time to come and pick it up....

I just had my actuator replaced in my D4 after it crapped itself pretty quickly. There's a difference between the D3 and D4 ones - about $600 difference as it turns out!! 2K later and a new EPB. This is through a specialist, not a dealer. He felt bad so gave it to me at cost. Suggest people jump on this immediately, even if the sound goes away!!

Back pocket hurty!

Chalk up another failed epb. Mine had to be manually released with car stuck on slightly sloping driveway. Talking to a local independent and hopefully repairable - $2k+ otherwise 😩

I avoid this, I hope, by not using the EPB ever. Now it's so long since I bought the Disco3 I am sure I will not take the risk.

Mine has just started doing this too - will pull the rear discs off and clean/lubricate this weekend following Bodsy's brake bible, which is fantastic. Hopefully that sorts it, I have a 20% graded driveway with a gate in the middle and I have to park the car to open the gate - too steep to rely solely on the trans park pall. So I don't have the luxury of not using the EPB!


Thankfully I haven't had to manually release at this point.
