Thread: D4 Park Brake

Hi Mike,
The hand brake is not normally so labour intensive .............

Depending entirely how you use your Disco. If you get it muddy, wet & dirty or use it for launching the boat, you will need to do much more regular maintenance on it.
On the Disco3.co.uk web site the is a manual called Bodsy's Brake Bible.

It has everything you'll ever need to know about care & feeding of your Handbrake.

I was a little daunted when first attacking it but now I just check mine every 10,000 wham I do the Oil & Filter Changes

Hi Mike,


I've got the same vehicle & vintage but with less mileage and the handbrake has failed on 3 occasions now. It's a common problem on the D3/4's and unfortunately all you can do is make sure they clean & adjust the park brake regularly. Otherwise, just don't use it which is a bit difficult

You can always take a few bricks to stick behind/in front of the wheels
