    So this is Land Rover Ownership...

    Hey guys.
    I'm new to these forums so sorry if I am posting in the wrong place but I really need help.
    My wife bought our first Land Rover yesterday as I couldn't get down to Sydney to pick it up - a 2005 Discovery 3 HSE with only 150,000kms on the clock.
    She took it for a test drive with no issues - emergency brake working fine as will later be important.
    3 hours from home after various stops - she pulled up and put on the emergency brake only to receive a 'Park brake fault, system not functional' error with a screech.
    She turned off the car and left it while she went to get food and turning it back on had no errors so drove home.
    Upon getting home though I could hear in screeching in and was greeted by a nice smell from the back right tire.
    I took it to the mechanics this morning who found this:

    It looks like I'm up for a new disc, handbrake assembly and backing plate - and I haven't even owned it for 24 hours!
    Thankfully the car is driving again and I wasn't charged anything for the look this morning - in the meantime I have strict instructions not to touch the ebrake.
    Does anybody have any advice on where the best place to source these would be from?
    Cheers,
    Matt.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Welcome, if you are handy familiarise yourself with Bodsy’s Brake Bible from the Disco3 UK site for comprehensive knowledge on the Disco brakes and park brake adjustment technique.
