Thread: So this is Land Rover Ownership...

Hi Matt,

Sorry to hear of your troubles.

Try Roverlord offroad spares, They are a member on this wonderful site.

There is also TRS in South Australia who might be able to help out.

There is also Karcraft in Silverwater 0297379944

Failing that your going to the dealer where they will charge mega $$$$$$.

Someone else might have a clue on where to pick up the parts for a reasonable price here in oz.

A helpful hint for you. If you need parts, you can buy them from England(eg island 4x4.co.uk, lrdirect.com) at a reasonable price and get them sent over,but if its urgent, then you will be paying more.
Hope you get it sorted.

Statutory dealer warranty?

For future reference, familiarise yourself with the location of the park brake emergency release cable that releases the tension on the cables to the wheels. While there, locate the gear lever emergency release tab that allows the gearbox to be pulled out of park without battery power.

Dont know about NSW , but in Victoria thats not Roadworthy & the dealer you bought it from is obliged to fix it.

Try RDA in ebay. I just replaced front and rear on my D3 and think they are great. Quick delivery and includes wear indicators in the kit price.

Isn't statutory dealer warranty only for cars that are under 10 years of age and with less than 100,000 kms on the clock.

Gday and Welcome to the forum.

Not a good start to L/R ownership , there dont look like any material left on those hand brake shoe's .

I am guessing this was a private seller and most likely not tested on the test drive.

You must have a good mechanic if he done all that's involved to get those shoe's off free of charge. Try Roverlord he did have the hand brake shoes a couple of months ago as I enquired after some. Would suggest you replace both rear disc's .

Hopefully your ownership improves after your troublesome first 24 hours .

cheers Ean
