Thread: Parking Brake Latching Failure

I think there's more than just a few of us wished ours was as good.

Same. Annual religious cleaning and adjustment and it’s never been an issue. I can be sure that anyone who’s had a failure cannot attest to them doing annual maintenance. Taking it to a deal IS NOT THE SAME. They don’t do it. If they do, it’s a unicorn dealer. It really is an annual task to clean out the drums and adjust clearance.

Agree re the clean out..which is no difference to other drum based designs which if not maintained will cause probs eg VL Commodore. 😐. Drums on a zook will actually jam up on braking if not cleaned out
...happened to the daughter recently. So maintenance should avoid most probs even tho it is a PIA somewhat unecessary design/feature IMHO.

I thought avoiding the dealer for servicing fixed all problems ........

Being pedantic, I checked my vehicle after every dealer service - and picked up several times where the tech hadn't bothered to adjust the EPB.
Made them sort that, and went on my way. After every dirty run it gets flushed out (hubs) and then checked.

9 years and zero problems.

A friend had his fail after 6 years - turned out the dealer had never made an adjustment

Keep it serviced as it should be and its highly unlikely to have a problem.

And to think that if LR dealers actually did some of this work, their reliability statistics would be much higher!!!
