Thread: What happened to your D3/D4 today?

Just drove it

Van on the back and off to an Open Prize Meet at Maitland. SA.

Camped up on the range, another relaxing drive.

Enjoying a bevvie as the sun sets

Had the D out on Stockton beach with my son yesterday. Probably the softest I’ve ever experienced there. Got stuck momentarily going up a steep hill.
Down from [emoji6] to psi and all was fine- no digging, the usual amazing self recovering ability of the Disco.

Sorry. lol. I have no idea why it posted like that. I’ll fix it

Note to self, don't take shortcuts when adjusting the EPB shoes . Winding off the adjusters i did just enough so that i could spin the wheels freely and not the 8 turns that is recommended which i soon found out was a mistake.
Took a week to materialize but just entering the freeway got up to 110kph and got this god awful vibration that felt like i had a blow out on a tire, then it disappeared almost as soon as it started after i had slowed down to 80 til it was bearable and then drove normally.
I sorta knew what it was and when i got home got that lovely brake smell, so let them cool down for an hour then went out and did it properly .

IIRC I've found the opposite, they were too tight and overheated on the 1st test drive so I just backed them off until the wheel would spin, took it for a test drive, Xmas morning all okay. However later I did hear the occasional scraping in var parks, so I had my mechanic adjust them at the next service However, had the shuddering on the freeway on the way home, went straight back to mechanic but no fault found, we suspect the EPB didn't release properly as it has been fine since.

That might be the trick operate the EPB a few times before driving it after adjustment.

I had the rear end in the air with wheels off this time so i could apply and release a few times before finishing - all good coming home except for a limp situation for something else.
