Thread: D3 Fixes It's Self?

I would say it still needs looking at, from what you have said, considering where you are, I reckon it's probably only dirt or crap in the drums, we had a similar thing, they were just dirty and full of mud, have a look yourself, it's a pretty easy job to do, clean it all out and re-assemble, should be fine then.

Mine healed itself too but in a different way. I tried to use it a few days ago and was surprised to find that the switch lever wouldn't raise enough to operate the switch. This morning I removed the centre console so as to remove the switch then discovered the switch now worked. I suspect an object had found its way under the lever then fell out when the console was up-ended. I like to keep mine's quirks simple.

The EPB gods must be smiling

My EPB also had a miraculous healing yesterday. Mine stopped working about a week ago, after a failed bedding in procedure after installing new rotors, and now it works normally

Here's my thread

yep had similar scenario still needed new handbrake a month or two later

How to fix EPB in 3 steps.

1. Rip out all EPB and associated parts.
2. Fit 2 bricks into drivers footwell. Apply to wheels when stopped.
3. Profit.

It would be good if one of the clever guys around here could come up with a manual alternative, rather than paying nearly $2000 to get it fixed.

For those with 2010 model D4's, there is a different part number than for the later cars and the car won't accept the later part number, even though it is identical to the old part. Rovertech installed mine, with great difficulty because they had to remove the long range fuel tank. However, the computer would not accept it and it ended up taking a couple of weeks to get the correct part.

The worst thing was that the car was OK with the wrong part until my wife drove the car away from the repair shop. Soon after leaving and after refuelling, the engine stalled with a low fuel error on the dashboard and the gauge reading empty. It would start but died as soon as you touched the acclerator. This was 4:30 on a Friday afternoon and we were about to leave for Esperance at about 6:00pm. Kevin sent out a mechanic who checked the fuel bleed and put the Testbook on it. Everything was OK except that there was a persistent low fuel error, even though the fuel rail pressures were OK.

Trucked it back to Rovertech and when the new EPB finally arrived and was accepted by the computer, all errors disappeared and no problems with the gauge reading empty or the low fuel error message since. Seems like errors must have been generated every time the engine was started and when they reached a critical mass the car went into melt down!

To Rovertech's credit, the new EPB was a warranty job. They had to remove the LR tank and do all of the fitting again at their own cost. The supplier didn't know that there were two different part numbers for D4's and everyone got caught out.

Sounds about right for a modern car. Just replaced the engine and wiring harness in the wifes xtrail. So had to replace the ignition and locks too, it would start but not rev on the old locks. Change locks, all ok.

The later EPB module s/w must have been issuing CAN messages identical to the 2010 fuel level message issued by the CJB and used by various other ecus - a nice little trap for the future. I wonder why LR didn't update all ecu s/w to obviously new CAN messages.
