What happened when the dreaded Park Brake Fault error message appeared on the dashboard and how I replaced my broken PARKING BRAKE MODULE on a Land Rover Discovery 3, LR3. Made for your entertainment, rather than your education.

As a fellow LR3 sufferer I appreciate you making this video, well done, I hope you find time to make more in the future.
I have filmed more videos. I haven't edited them yet.
Who needs Netflix when you can watch Simon fixing his disco. Nice clear footage, really enjoyed it - but now put off getting one myself 👍🏻
Yeah, don't buy one. These cars are amazing when they work, so there's no reason to ever sell it on other than you've gotten sick of fixing it. If there's a second hand one for sale I can guarantee there's a problem with it somewhere. I still have mine and it is a constant source of problems. I wouldn't wish it upon anyone. I hoping to trade it in for the new VW ID.7 when it comes available.
I have waited so long for another video since u changed the suspension that took forever but finally worked perfectly, I whole heartedly admire your resilience.
Thanks for your return visit! More in the pipleline....
Did my epg module today , omg .. 3 hours to get the 4 mounting bracket bolts off , mine didn't snap , just rounded ... I didn't even bother try removing the hand brake cable clips the bolts were so corroded and rounded , i just easily broke the rusty clips by wiggling them instead . I put the new one on in no time .
Goggles are a necessity for this job , my car will be so much faster and more economical now , as so much rust fell off when i was using an air chisel on one of the bolts lol .
Well done Simon for doing this job and video .
My neither of us ever have to fix it again....
@@WeAreBigKids EPB is all calibrated , beded in and working now . As you say hopefully never again .
I'm doing my front lower control arms next .
lesson learned DISCO = drinking , to be cheered up when stuff goes wrong or when stuff goes right! Cheers mate another great video.
Cheers!
Another great video, the more annoying thing is if you look on the back of the transfer box there are 4 bolt holes for a conventional transmission brake, that's the easy bit, what I haven't worked out is how to mount a brake lever in the cab, and keep the electronics happy, because it uses cable tension monitoring I think, that handbrake is deep buried in the cars electronic systems and won't be removed without loads of system modifications but cleverer people know how I'm sure. Thanks for sharing your painful experience, helping others is the best!
You're right. I turned the ignition on while the EPB module was removed and the whole dashboard lit up and started beeping error messages. I am told the angle sensors are also in the EPB module, but I haven't verified that information yet.
Having watched your other videos on the rear suspension and trailing arms I admire your determination, you kept at it and beat all the obstacles you came to face, well done
Very kind, thank you.
I reckon your Disco 3 and mine must be twins. Last year my EPB stopped engaging, so I contacted my local LR independent and was shocked at the quote for parts and labour. I looked on eBay and found a module for about £400 cheaper and sent off for it, with the aim of giving it to the specialist to fit. When it came to it, it turned out that it was not the EPB module that had failed, the issue was with the brakes themselves. Watching you tackle this made me glad that I didn't attempt it, especially as I'd have only found later that the issue was not what was expected.
All credit to you again for having a go. Your films have spurred me to tackle more. Last week I did the oil, oil filter and air filter (all of which I filmed), and earlier today I was underneath looking at the fuel filter and giving the fasteners a hit of penetrating fluid ready for the weekend. Please keep posting your endeavours.
I'm hoping that I don't have any more endeavours with my Land Rover. But we know that we will. If people keep watching I'll keep making them.
Thanks for watching and good luck with the Fuel Filter. That's an easy one.
Hi Razor, My EPB stopped engaging one month ago. So I pull the security cable to release the car. when i try to engage the EPB again, i can only hear the wired sound like the gear or the cable is stuck in the module. After reading your comment, i am wondering maybe mine is the same problem with the brakes, cause the brakes are due recently. Any ideas about why the issue was with brakes themselves? your help will be really appreciated.
@@shawnxiao6950 Hi Shawn, My EPB wouldn't engage at all. It wasn't stuck on, so I didn't need to pull the release cable. At the same time, I was getting drag from the rear brakes on pulling away. I thought the fault was with the EPB module, but on further investigation it was found that the park brake shoes on one side had delaminated and on the other side the shoes were worn low and the discs are heavily worn/corroded. It was this that stopped the EPB from working. I hope that helps. Either way, an expensive job I'm afraid.
Good video, and fair play for sticking with it,
Looks like it was worth all the pain in the end 👍
Absolutely. It made a nice video for you all to watch.
Thanks!
Oh I wish I could have given you advice . Heat for the nuts . torch works fantastic. Great job cheers .3 years later 🍻
Yellin and screaming while working land rover sounds about right, I did my apprenticeship with land rover I used to be a real well manned guy before I started there. Awesome video btw fun to watch
Thanks!
What a cool couple, RE watched your first video and stuck around for the second which are very entertaining especially during this pant's lock down shenanigans. I have a D3 which has me hostage and in perpetual overtime to meet the whacking great repair bills over the 5 years of ownership, like the previous post I went from secondary school onto the tools and then into all sorts afterwards including camera op and Avid editor so I really appreciate how much graft you put into your posts not only working on the ground losing circulation but the camera work and post production, thanks for the entertainment and you two stay safe
Thanks! The Rear Suspension video was 18 hours of footage. This Parking Brake video was about 12 hours of footage. I didn't want to film another fix, I just wanted to get it back on the road. But my partner kept bringing the camera out and telling me that I must do it. I didn't bother using my radio mics for the Parking Brake video. Also it took far too long in my spare time to edit it. I work as an broadcast editor for my day job, so not a fan of editing when I get home.
Any way, thanks for watching. We're both happy you enjoyed it.
Good quality video , great camera work ! You deserve so much more subscribers... Nice work mate
You are too kind. Well done for watching the video within the first few minutes of its launch.
Amazing video, yet again! Love the involvement of the very dedicated other half! LR3 and relationship goals right there.
Thanks. We'd both rather not have to fix the car, but sometime needs must.
The best video I've ever seen on CZcams about repairing a car
Reallly!? Thanks. You mean, better than "Replacing Rear Suspension Arms and Polybushes - Land Rover Discvoery 3"? Wow.
czcams.com/video/toU_Tx2hmy8/video.html
@@WeAreBigKids thanks for sharing the link
'The following morning, Simon returns to his own sinking ship'.
'Simon has to be really careful not to snap all the bolts'.
'At the thought of being stuck for another three weeks, Simon started to cry'.
Very entertaining video once again, made me laugh and re live the aches and pains you get working under a Landy. Brilliant stuff.
It's seems everything in Britain causes aches and pains at the moment. Hahaha. Thanks for watching.
Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth on those rusty bolts - I winced as much as you tightening the rear upper control arm 😓 but that’s why we do it! To learn, buy tools and test the patience of our partners - top work, keep it up!
I hate fixing cars. I love driving them, though. Thanks for watching.
The best diy repair video ever . I love your videos they show the reality of doing repairs especially DIY. Having a good partner makes things better even when they are going bad. Thank you guys.
You're welcome.
Hilarious! I own a garage and this job is a pain in the backside on a ramp - suddenly all the technicians go off sick when there is a electric handbrake module to change on a land Rover!! Fair play to you!
Well, it's good to know that I'm not the only person to have struggled with this. I wouldn't want to do another EPB module, even if I was getting paid. As you're working on it it's clear to see that the EPB was fitted before the body was put on.
Thanks for watching.
I’m humbled by your determination. Great vid, editing, gfx, audio, humour, dialogue and storytelling.
You’re not alone in your lonely driveway experiences. FB has some Disco specific groups and you never know, you might just get a few tips, some inspiration or maybe just a shoulder to cry on to get you thru the hard times. :)
Kind words, thank you very much. We do try.
As for the Facebook groups, I am already on Discovery 3 & 4 Owners Group and another one called something like Discovery 3 & 4 Technical blah blah, I can't remember its' exact name.
Someone uploaded the entire Land Rover Discovery 3 Workshop manual, the one that dealership mechanics refer to. Without that I wouldn't really know what I'm doing.
Thanks for watching!
😂 Land Rover, turning owners into mechanics since 1948.
Not wrong there.
Great video and your wife is unlike most women, she’s helpful and understanding plus she gets involved rather than just nagging and making things much worse. One day we will buy a land cruiser but I have been saying that for years .
I came up with an idea. Every time my Land Rover breaks I should invest the same amount of money into a savings jar for a different car. Would have a whole fleet of cars by now.
Agreed -
Slavic wives are absolutely brilliant if you’re smart enough to sidestep the hot gold digger ones.
excellent vid our epb left rear decided to drag and lock up had to take a mini sledge to the rotor after removing hand brakes the rotor came off along with disentegrated parking brake shoes which came out in pieces ordered the new epb brake kit so far no warnings on dash hope the kit just goes well it’s video like this that makes us keep roving
Thanks for the time you put in to make this maintenance nitemare
Great vid with even some footage of one of those old fashioned pub visits!
Tenacity the key to a successful EPB job. It’s just nuts and bolts.
Love the test drive 👍🏁
May we all get to test-drive our Land Rovers and visit them pubs real soon.
I’m almost glad I’m having parking brake issues on my LR3 because otherwise I wouldn’t have ran into this great video! Cheers from Texas
Thanks Texas. Hope you get that parking brake sorted.
Hey bro I'm changing the parking brake module on my 09 Range Rover Sport and I feel your pain I am stuck on that one bolt you had trouble with. Kuddos to you for tackling the job. Love your videos they are very helpful. Will update you when I'm done
Glad you're finding them useful. Good luck with that bolt. I just broke the flimsy bracket open and left it. I bent the bracket back around the new cable. Cowboy job.
You are a legend man , dont give up on the landrover , well done
The Land Rover is my only mode of transport until they make diesel illegal to drive. It's the best car I've ever had.
I just finished doing a transmission service in my LR3: solenoids, valve sleeves blah blah blah... anyway, I feel your pain. Really, I do. Great work and enjoy the Disco 3.
Thanks. Transmission service? I wouldn't fancy that job.
Full respect for sticking with the repair
Thank you very much.
Awesome video once again. Well done for seeing it all the way through
Once you sart the job you have to finish it.
Brilliantly orchestrated videos, thank you so much x
Great videos as always, currently motorcycle touring in Spain and I'm feeling your pain as I've got to replace my rear hand brake actuator and all the rear brakes and bearing etc when I get home plus the two Egr valves, the hardest job is the rhs Egr valve it makes all them jobs seem easy lol.
It's never ending. Like Sisyphus, but with 4x4 parts.
Your partner is brilliant. I have never been bought alcohol, just been abused !
Hahaha hahaha.
Good effort. Looking at various D3's for sale. Both your vids have come in useful in terms of "okay, is that a job I want to do myself". Your patience outstrips mine ;)
None of these jobs are really what I wanted to do, either. But it's not one that the local garages wanted to do either. Probably too complicated for them.
i have re watched this for the 10th time while i wait for more new content :) i hope we get more land rover adventures
I have filmed a few more, just the editing. It takes too long. But rest assured that there are new videos in the works.
I have to say that your videos are so well put together and edited. It make me feel part of the adventure. Thank you so much for all the hard work your doing to give us awesome content.
I like you guys, I starting following you from the first posting of repairing the D3
Thank you very much!
We're glad you enjoy the videos.
I feel your pain brother, I’ve got a freelander 2 with a normal handbrake, I’ve fancied a disco but not so keen on it now
Save your money for a nice TV or holiday or something.
fair play to you pal, these disco 3 are awesome when they work, but stressful when they dont, da iawn met 👍
Ta very much.
Bravo! Great teamwork and resilience. I enjoyed that 👍
Thanks!
Wow awesome job yet again! You're very brave tackling that!! What a painful repair that is. I'd definitely take mine to the garage if mine ever needs doing. I always look forward to your new uploads, very entertaining and informative. I hope it doesn't need anything doing for a long time now. I just changed my front air struts today and I thought that was tough haha after watching this I'm now feeling like I got off lightly 🤣
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!
i know this really hard job takeout and return actuator with cables,you done it.....best wish from sri lanka.
WOW! you are the man! my car always has the same problems like yours. Cheers!!!
I think they have the same faults. is there no end...?
Glad you got it done and that you have the same mechanical luck as me.
Thanks for watching. I'm sure people have more luck than me... And more experience than me too.
Feel your pain - almost. Had a few Parking Brake faults but managed to calibrate my way out them so far. Fingers crossed.
Yep, mine would calibrate and adjust no more. It was an electrical fault in this instance. It's always electrical on these things.
I just replaced mine after work a few nights ago. I ended up pulling it out the RHS wheel well. That way the only bolts that needed removing were the two at the top of the EPB and the few cable retainers on the chassis.
Good work. Glad it's sorted.
You must really love that Car 😄
Not any more.
Great job ...! this videos are great.. I wish you make from this car rebuilding project...So funny and for disco 3 fan's great informations... and the quality of the video making is just great too...Thank you
Thanks, you're too kind. As for the rebuilding project - forget it. Once it's gone, it's gone.
I'm saving up for the VW I.D. 7 Bus. Or a Jeep Rubicon. This is my second Land Rover. I'll probably buy another one, one day. But there isn't one I like in their line-up at the moment. I'd originally decided to skip upgrading to the D4, because it was exactly the same as the D3. But when the D5 came out I was extremely disappointed. I don't like the all new Defender, either.
We are happy you've enjoyed our videos.
My god, the suffering!!!
You should get a Citroen next which is the next level of frustration.
Keep on raging against the machine👍
I was toying with the idea of getting a C4 Catus, but they went and changed the design, didn't they.
The race is currently on for which comes to market first - the VW Buzz ID7 or the Canoo. Which ever is available first is the one that gets my money (If I ever earn money ever again! Bloody lock-downs.)
On watching your video, we decided we wasn’t gonna pay a mechanic to do our upper wishbone bushes. On doing the job after watching your video it made our job easier. If you forget about the hand break cable that wouldn’t come out of the wheel hub, I have now ordered said hand break cable and will certainly be channeling your pain this weekend. I think if this causes me any aggro, I’m selling the bloody thing...life is far to short to keep fixing this bloody discovery 3. I’ll go and buy the new defender instead......lol
I have to agree with you - life IS too short to be fixing a Land Rover. I wouldn't buy the new Defender, either. There are videos of people with brand new Defenders that have problems already.
No more Land Rovers for me. Not unless they got back to basics and remove all the electronics.
Fair play you must have the patience of a saint👍👍👍
Thanks. It's more that once you start you can't really take it to anyone else. There's no one else near me that can fix these anyway.
Enjoyed this!
The rope of memory! I love that 👍
I 'need' it.
MERCI grace à vous je vais pouvoir reparer le frein de parc de mon disco 3..
I love your vids mate! Great how you used the Landrover “bong” to hide your expletives! 😂😂😂
I can’t help thinking that you maybe didn’t have to replace the actuator as the problem usually lies with the brake shoes themselves. I wouldn’t mind giving you my number if you ever need advice! I know mine inside out! Take care brother!
The Land Rover "Bongs" ARE swear words in my house. The fault codes revealed an electrical fault with the module, which went away with the new one. What's wrong with a simple lever and cable, any way? I find it's always the electronics that are breaking on mine. It hates water, too. Sets off all sorts of errors.
MrThommo78 yeah, anytime mine had handbrake issues I adjusted the brakes and / or replaced the rear rotors ( brake discs) and fitted new shoes.
Thanks for putting up the video, all these videos help us all and are great for giving us an insight before we tackle a job ourselves.
It's Landrover thing you wouldnt understand 😍 05LR3
I am on my third EPB. Bought the last one on ebay and local garage fitted it for me. The loud screech is a nightmare !
The whole car is a nightmare.
@@WeAreBigKids I've told you a million times not to exaggerate 😂😂😂
Great video! Really enjoyable to watch. Make more, if you still have it...! 😁
Yeah, I still have it. I'll keep making them, but it's not broke yet....... (Oh no, I said it!!!!)
Love your videos on Disco 3, felt all your pain, been there but not with a Disco 3, I was looking at getting a discovery but I think you have put me off. Lol
Cars are all the same... The main difference is that our local LR mechanics charge 140€ for one hour of labor. So you do it yourself :)
Yeah, don't buy a Discovery. They are brilliant when they work and are a real nightmare when they don't. They're expensive to fix, too heavy for some recovery trucks and they break down often, despite me desperately trying to look after my investment. I can't see how anyone can own one of these and not be fixing it themselves. A lot of garages don't understand all the ins and outs of all the electronics and the air suspension. The Discovery 4 has problems with the crank snapping in the engine and nothing lasts very long. Get a Toyota.
Thanks for watching.
I don't take mine to any of the local garages any more.. Nearest trusted mechanic is over 80 miles away and he's always busy.
I had the same problem on my Discovery 3. I took it to the garage to fix. It cost a lot of money. It made me feel sad. Your video makes me feel less sad - no way I would have had the skill or patience to do it!
...and that's why the mechanics charge money. Next time your Disco goes into the garage and costs you lots of money just think of those mechanics - swearing at the rusty bolts.
Thanks for watching!
Hello,
You're right, the Discovery 3 has too many systems that are a mess, shit: EPB, EAS, EGR, door locks,... and many others. What's more, when one of them fails, fixing it is another shit, because its situation, rust, etc. makes work very difficult.
Thanks for your time and regards.
Pere
I laughed, I cried. I can't wait for the book. Doing DIY maintenance on my own Discovery 4 I can unequivocally say it takes a special kind of masochist to work on these vehicles. Cheers from Canada.
Every day I think to myself, "I should have bought that Defender 90 that was parked next to it in the dealership." Every day. Thanks for watching!
Brilliant video mate just had my fail beginning of this week, at least now I know what problems I’m going to have. cheers for the heads up 🤮
If mine went again I'd just take it to a garage for this one...
Or the breakers yard and just abandon it. LOL.

We Are Big Kids Well I’ve only had the thing for three weeks so it’s a bit early for that, but I’m quite handy with the spanners so I don’t mind too much it’s just the expense
If you haven't already, join the Discovery 3 & 4 Owners Group on Facebook and download the full engineering manual from the files section. It's the same engineering manual they use at the dealerships. It's very thorough and better than Haynes.
Enjoy your new Disco!
Did you need to flash or calibrate the new EPB module, or did it just work when you plugged it in after adjusting the brake shoes?
Can't remember, to be fair. I don't think I flashed the EPB, I think it just sorted itself out. I may be wrong, it was a while ago now.
This is where living in Australia has it's advantages (Amongst others). Bolts just loosen when you turn them anti-clockwise with a socket.
That's just showing off. Next you'll be telling everyone it never rains.
Thanks for watching.
@@WeAreBigKids I live in south east Victoria mate, sometimes it feels like we might as well be living in Scotland!
Can fully relate, wonderful video.
Love it!!! I feel with you
Glad you enjoyed it.
Many thanks.
Wow!!! Thought you got enough after replacing the suspension arms hahahaha you are amazing.... but it weird ... i had fun watching it... hahaha same as with the other one.
What is next??? hahahaha Good luck both of you!!
Thanks for the vdeo and sharing it.
Next video? Well, that's for the Discovery 3 to decide.
Thanks for watching!
Good effort that man !
Good old discovery3 it will drive anyone to drink 🍺🥃🥂
Sadly sometimes it's either fix the car or go to the pub and not both.
Thanks for the video it was helpful (btw I swore in the same last bolts too)
This (P) is really (P)!
Hahahaha
@@WeAreBigKids not made for big (P) hands!
Awesome video.. I appreciate it was a while ago but have to say. If you would have attacked it from the front side of the offside rear wheel the module can be taken out without removing the bracket.. Just need to undo the top two bolts holding it to the bracket. Then it all slides out through the wheel well. Then you will have had to get it programmed because it runs on the canbus system. Goodjob it wasnt a wiring loom fault which is common on these.. Landrovers had a recal early on and had the loom replaced as so many were failing.. Good job though. Hope its still working a year later...
Yeah, it's still working. I had the loom fault soon after. Luckily the Disco3 webpage pointed me in the right direction and it was the third wire I checked.
@@WeAreBigKids 👍
7:08 I'm sure others have said but can often get off the rusty ones by undoing a turn then doing up 1/2 a turn, resting and WD40 often :)
Tried it. In this case nothing worked.
Great video 👍. What, or which Bluetooth obd2 reader do you use? Thanks 😊
Everyone on the forums are using the the GAP IID Tool. They're about £400, but they'll do everything, from reading and clearing faults to adding new software once you've swapped a module, and there's plenty of people that can give you help.
www.gap-diagnostic.com/products/iidtool/
I felt your pain with that one mate, great video though, thanks for sharing. Which OBD device do you have that connects to your phone??
I have the Gap Diagnostic IID Tool. There's a Pro, which costs £1,500 ish and is for reading and changing on multiple VINs. Mine is the standard Bluetooth IID Tool which costs £400 and gets locked to the VIN of your car. It's the go-to IID on the Discovery 3 & 4 Owners group. It is expensive, but it will save you that money back in around 6 months, depending on how many faults you get.
done mine in about 6.5 hours, i did it in dry inside workshop on the floor & mine had to be programmed to the vehicle, love ur videos
You are a hero!
YOU are a hero!
Thanks for watching!!!
I’m experiencing this after only 5 weeks of owning it 😭 Love your videos. Did you have to “bed the brakes in” or was it not necessary
Get used to fixing your new car. It'll require a constant eye on it. As for the brakes, they do need bedding in.
Nice work; My LR4 has started to do this...oh how i dread this work. Fortunately I cut my mechanics teeth on an xjs v12 so stuff in the way is normal. Why oh why do late model LRs rust so much underneath??
Wieder ein interessantes Video. und professionel gefilmt. Danke mein Freund.
Danke schön!
Your Mrs is an absolutely delightful little thing isn’t she?
Sometimes.
brilliant thanks for the video, very realistic to the average joe like myself.
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching and good luck with the Discovery.
Land Rover have got to be taking the piss when they made these vehicles, a total nightmare.
Yep. Land Rover assemble the drive train without the body on top of it. I could see that replacing the parking brake would have been really easy from the top.
the 2 vids I have watched of yours have made me LOL. As a mechanic of 40 odd years (now retired) I am in awe of your persistence and tenacity. I would have sent it to a garage.
Hahahaha. "sent it to the garage." One of my neighbours is a retired mechanic. Occasionally he'd come out to see me work. He'd never offer any tips or tricks, mind. He's just say the same, "I'd just send it to the garage, I would, see."
@@WeAreBigKids Having said all that, I couldn't afford to send it to a garage now LOL. That's why I've got a motorised shopping basket with 7 years warranty ( Kia venga )
Great video !!! Tank you
Glad you found it useful.
I did it last weekend on my LR3 2005 the same, rust and screws it sure = the same lake you but I cut it right now and made new threads and painted the chassis color to slow the rust :). The problem with my EPB is in the electric motor, the magnets have burned (775 Motor DC 12V-36V 3500-9000RPM). Greet from Slovakia
I stopped painting my rust. When it's gone, it's gone. And I'll have my weekends back.
Greeting from the UK.
@@WeAreBigKids I know exactly what you mean ;-) (and maybe mostly LR owners). regards
Good job 💪👍
Don,t we just love LRs . i would have had some heat on that,it works for me, take care .stay well, cheers Mick.
Thanks for watching!
I looked up this video to do my LR4 I don’t think I’ll be doing it after this. Have you a link to where you got the part? Thank you.
There are many parts stores in the UK that sell this part. Type the following into Google: discovery 3 electric parking brake
Also, look on ebay, as people buy the part, then give up before fitting it.
HI there. Great video. How did you calibrate the Longitudinal Sensor?
Can't remember, but I did use my GAP IID Tool to reinstall the module. Probably did it then, but it's too long ago to remember the specifics. Sorry.
Hi once u fitted the hand brake and reconnect the shoes and discs how did u adjust them up and did u have to reset the box using a computer to say its had new shoes or just plug and play ?
I used the famous "Bodsy's Brake Bible" to adjust the new shoes. Ian Bodsworth, MrBodsy (czcams.com/channels/nLMPIUcCRpNoIrOgZDMraw.html) has made an extremely complete and detailed PDF file for everything brake related. Have a search of the internet for it. You may get it from disco3.co.uk, failing that the Discovery 3 & 4 Owners Group on Facebook have it in their files part. It's free.
Oops, one more thing, you don't need to tell the computer you've adjusted the shoes. That bit is automatic.
Excellent
Excellent effort. Well done. What's the black cylinder thingy on the left to the bracket?
Glad you enjoyed the video. The black cylinder is the silencer for the air suspension exhaust. If its the same black cylinder I'm thinking of.
@@WeAreBigKidsThank you. Why would the EAS need a silencer though?
@@WeAreBigKids That is on the left to the bracket but more towards back. 3:14 half white it seems.
Yeah, that's part of the Air Suspension. Just checked the engineering manual again and it's noted as the Inlet and Exhaust Silencer. I'd imagine it stops the car farting, or something, every time it lets air out of the suspension system.
Great video, but what height did you put the suspension to and did you remove the suspension fuse in the engine bay .
I didn't touch the suspension in this video. I did not remove the fuse, either - I just disconnected the battery.
@@WeAreBigKids thanks , disconnecting the battery is always best .
I read somewhere to put the car in off road height then remove fuse 26 from the engine bay fuse box , can't remember exactly.
I've got the handbrake module and new shoes to do next ... then front wishbones. Currently doing egr blanking, as i was sent the wrong one ( sent me an egr for a 2007 , mine is 2005 ) , so i refitted the old faulty egr and decided to blank them . I'm stuck at removing the butterfly spindle thing at the moment .... 🤬
I like your Videos a lot 👍 i hate my Disco too
But when he is Running i love it
Greatings to GB 🇬🇧 from Germany
Now that's the problem. When it runs it's the best.
You are my idol !
It's the long hair, isn't it?
You’re a very very brave person! İt’s a very hard work. By the way maybe because of the wd40 the rusted bolts had broken easily. İt makes the rusted areas softer . Just keep in mind. (Disco 3’s are great cars but before 2007my ones have more problems then 2007-09 my ones i guess)
The problem is the green, oval badge on the front.
We Are Big Kids Nooo :)) Every brand has ıssues :)
the best investment you could make for the underside of the car is a Dremmel and a Impact wrench like Dewalts XR
Thanks. I do like the idea of having more tools. I don't like the idea of spending money on them. Thanks for watching this video too.
Wow lovely support from gf. I am proud Landie Independent specialist. The best car in the world

Do you have a Gap Diagnostic IID tool? I just plugged mine in and reset the fault codes.
Love your videos it is a really accurate picture of discovery ownership. You have helped me as watching your videos let’s me have an excuse to take it to the garage to have repairs done £££££££££. Did rear brakes myself and all calliper bolts snapped off, why do LR not put proper bolts in? (LR4)
££££££££££? Worth every penny.
Unfortunately the garage won't let me film them, so I have to do it myself.
I love your disco videos! What's next?
Thanks! There are more videos that I've shot, it's just finding the time to edit them. They take weeks to edit.
We Are Big Kids because you’re one of the best video editors on CZcams in my opinion
