Here is our video how we serviced our electric parking brake module of our 2006 Land Rover Discovery 3. Instead of installing a complete new module, we serviced the old module using the Britpart repair kit. This method is not as expensive as a complete new module.
Removal and installation is not difficult but typically all the bolts are badly corroded and can result in a very stressfull repair. We show how we removed the corroded bolts. We also show how we assured to reinstall the brake cables in the correct position.
We hope this video is helpfull or maybe even entertaining. Please check out our other videos or even subscribe to our channel for weekly new content.
Thanks for watching.

Greeetings from the uk. Love your videos you two work so well together. Think if I worked with my wife one of us would end up buried in the pit. Under body looks great.
LOL, thanks. It came close to that between us as well... But I just cut that footage out...
So much fun and thank you for bringing knowledge and learning to so many people!❤
Hi guys , I wish I had a wife like Vera and I think a lot of mechanics would like her as a Apprentice she's the best. Christian you done a beautiful job underneath the Land Rover hope you get many more years running out of it, i will have to pop over to Germany get you to do my under ceiling of my LR3 lol .
Stay safe the pair of you
Ralph
Hello Ralph, thanks for your comment, as always. More content will follow but now work is on again and less time for CZcams. Take care of your LR3.
These video's are absolute classics, I love the little corrective comments that Vera puts in
Brilliant video with great humor
Brilliant! Great balance real world and technical content. Thanks from UK
Thanks. This is a rewarding comment for us.
You make a great team, this has to be the best maintained discovery on the planet. Look forward to your next video.
Thanks. Next video will be about 5 things we don´t like about our Discovery.
@@Vera_and_Christian only 5 !!!!!!!!! :-)
I simply love your relationship and Vera is just the sweetest person.
😊🙏🙋♀️ Vera
I really love your channel. Compared to other LR CZcamsrs you guys showing a truely uplifting attitude. It shows you love doing what you are doing! 👍
😊👍 Thanks 😃🙋♀️ Vera
Poor Vera - "It's always my fault". ;-)
Hello John, trust me, it was bad this time. Going through the video footage was almost as stressful as doing the repair itself. She had to put up with a lot! The overall downtime was from the 21st to the 27th of December.
"It took me just 20 years to learn all this" ;). what a duet ! Great job ! Thanks for the explanations
😂👍🙋♀️ Vera
Christian & Vera - you seem absolutely fearless in terms of the servicing and repairs you take on, I'm in awe of the quality of work you do. Whenever you decide to sell your D3 you have great proof that you vehicle is very well looked after.
And you are such fun to watch ... and I always learn something new.
🙏😊🙋♀️Vera
Your tutorials are very detailed just what is needed to teach followers thaks Christian.
I have held you in high esteem for some time now but you have sky rocketed in my opinion since I heard you say " Now we have to work out how it goes back together!". You are both stars. Great series guys.
😅👍 🙋♀️ Vera
Wish my wife was like Vera even though its always her fault she keeps her cool, And she told you about the cable tie great team you two.
this is a well done video thank you for producing it.
Thanks, Informative as I have had my LR3 For 3yrs now, After having owned afew Disco's and many Range Rovers, and because of some of your Videos, I Feel more competent and have started to do my Own Serviceing.
Many Thanks.
That is what we like to hear 👍. I hope you have someone who helps you 😉. Thanks for your comment. Vera
This is my project for next week. Got my parts from LR Centre in England. Shipping was great as it only took 7 days to get to me here on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. I have the LR3 HSE with the V8, been good to me so far. Thanks for sharing the info.
Hello Zan, have that 3/8 hex socket ready and a few new M8 x 16 bolts. Spray them with penetrant the night before. Each cable has two M8 bolts and then there are the four bracket bolts in the back, holding the module. Also spray the heat shield nuts. Use a hammer and socket and hit them once prior opening them. Also use a inch socket if they spin through. We love Vancouver island. We took our Jeep Cherokee there about 20 jears ago. The landscape is endless. Victoria is a nice city with friendly people. Good memories.
That was awesome, thank you.
Thanks 🙋♀️ Vera
I didn't even buy a discovery yet, was looking for videos on it and landed on this channel. Now I really want to buy one.
😃👍🙋♀️ Vera
I love your videos, you both make an excellent team!
Another humorous and instructional video repair, well done Guys, Cheers and stay safe.
Hello BigKev, thanks. It was fun to do and we are happy about the positive feedback.
Christian, your work ethic is admirable and impressive. I've learnt a lot from your informative videos, your unique little tricks and adaptations.
It really is ' Voorsprung dich technic' as they say at Audi.
👍😀🙋♀️ Vera
i watch your video for a friend doing a garage job, 5 turns, thats what he needed to know. your wife is so sweet. slow down !!!
Wow pait looks great!
Thanks. Video will follow in the next weeks hopefully.
Another great informative video. I agree, use your EPB all the time. My 2005 D3 is now at 200600 km and the module is still original. Although it's an auto, I still use the parking brake every time. I just had it serviced (shoes stripped cleaned and readjusted according to Bodsy's brake bible) in 2019 after it started making horrid noises, and all is well. Looking forward to your underbody corrosion video. Cheers!
Hello Alex, thanks. Next few videos will be for example:
5 thinks we do not like about our Discovery
Underbody corrossion repair
Things you may not know about your drive shaft
Bad thing is, that I have to work now again. Vacation is over.
@@Vera_and_Christian Looking forward to them. Stay safe!
Love your video's Guys! You certainly follow the mantra of look after your Landrover and she will look after you. Such a misconception about these vehicles unfortunately, service them the way you do they will last a lifetime..well done!
The reason for the bad reputation is that people do not expect the maintenance cost of a high end vehicle. The cars are cheap and people think they are cheap to maintain too. In reality, these are 60+ t Euro vehicles and they are more expensive to maintain - unless you DIY them. We love them and we will buy an other one in 2021. Thanks!!!
Thanks for doing all these videos!
Thanks, we are really happy that you like our videos. 👍🙋♀️ Vera
Thank u very much for the video and info, i was able to reset the epb and change the shoes etc without too much trouble.nice one guys!!!!!!
Oh Vera and Christian. I love this and everything you do. So much fun and inspiration and entertainment. Dus ist zir goot! Very poor 4th form German language study. Clearly still with me 55 years later!!! Good on ya mate from Australia.
That was a journey, thankfully we don't have salted roads here just unforgiving heat. especially liked the "when I have a heart" attack comment at the end. I will have to get my land rover suffering wife to do a brake test too. :)
😅👍🙋♀️Vera
Another great video. Thank you. 👍
Thnk you for the positive feedback. So much work to cut a video and that makes it worth while.
Great video, well explained, great tutorial, with a lot of humor, loved it again! We already knew Vera is much better rhan an automatic ratched, she even reminds you of your ry wraps and hands you the torque wrench with the right settings, isn’t she the best right hand available. You must have known what you’ve married,. Love you both. Stay safe
Thanks. Yes, having Vera help me makes any repair very plesant.
Hallo Christian, hallo Vera, danke für die tollen Videos und das ihr immer für gute Laune sorgt.
Macht weiter so 😊👍🏼
👍 😃 🙋 Vera
awesome job. Thank you for showing.
Thanks and you are welcome.
you do such a great job!!! one day I want a pit like you have and to be as good as you are with mechanics. Please keep it up
The pit came with the house we bougt in 2009! Itis indeed great. Thanks.
A other awesome video. Keep them coming. Greetings from antwerpen Belgium
Erik
Hello Erik, thanks a lot. Next Video will be about the 5 things we don´t like about our Discovery. Not easy to find 5 things...
Wow just wow well done both so skilled
Good work on a meticulous job. The underbody coating looks great. I’m really looking forward to that video.
I told my wife I’d have to tell you guys about our breakfast this morning of biscuits, pork sausages, and some Darbo Lingonberry Sauce. Delicious!
Hello James, that sounds delicious indeed. There will be an other video in between before the paint job video. Our repair-style videos are very time consuming to edit. We use many 2 second sceens cut out of hours of footage in these videos. This is why we sometimes post a simple "just talk video" in between.
@@Vera_and_Christian the talking portions are great too. Keep up the good work guys!
That brake module looks identical to the one I had in a Renault scenic, I hope its a lot better because mine was a complete pain in the arse,, great video
Very good work, well done to you both.
Awesome job! Great video, very cool.
Thanks.
Excellent video thanks.
Thank you Doug.
Fantastic video your workmen’s ship is brilliant thank you my handbrake just failed grrrrrr😁🇬🇧👍
Another great video 👍🏻
Thanks!
I’ve got an interesting video idea I’m just starting out in camping and would like to see a video on camping gear and what stuff you use to keep comfortable ie cooking heating and also things to entertain kids lol
excellent video.
Fantastic video you guy's - thank you so much for your efforts - I'm going to give it a go now that I have your video to rely on :)
Another awesome video thanks, same unit as BMW. As you probably now know, you can remove EPB only, by unclipping Bowden cables. Only emergency release cable has to come off with unit.
We know and we choose not to do it that way. 👍🙋♀️Vera
i dont even own a LR, but man i find your videos great! keep it up.
Thanks. This is encouraging!
Great informative video, keep up the good work.
Brilliant video, very funny and informative!
Thanks. Repair was not entirely funny according to Vera 😂
Another fun and informative video, I have adjusted a couple of times and figure one day I may need to fix it if the gears strip. On a different note, I see you have some light surface rust on the chassis, I do regular off road beach camping but on return to dry land I was thoroughly Then spray inox mx4, it's a lanolin based product. 2007 lr 3 and not a hint of surface rust
Hello Peter, I have done some rost protection but not in all areas. I wish i would have done more. At least I should have kepot it clean but did not. We ve done not some rost removal which will be in one of the next videos.
Just found your channel, what a great team you make, thanks for the content ;-)
😃👍Welcome, hope you stick for a while. 🙋♀️Vera
Great video luv watching you guys ,not at all keen to fix mine 🤨cheers from down Under 🤠
Hallo ihr Zwei!
Da mein Englisch nicht so grammatikalisch perfekt ist wie euers, schreibe ich auf deutsch :) Wollte mich mal für die tolle Anleitung bedanken! Habe anhand dieser meine Parkbremse gewechselt. Ohne wäre ich mehrmals verzweifelt!
Beste Grüße aus Aalen in Baden Württemberg
It was perfect...appreciate.
Sir your wife and you are a fantastic couple,ive really enjoyed this video.Thank you from the UK ps I've liked and subscribed!
That wire is a great tip.
very informative thank you
Thanks 😃🙋♀️ Vera
Greetings from Bulgaria! I am looking for Discovery 3 for my next car. Really helpful videos and lot of fun. If you decide to sell it, I will come to Germany 😊
Thanks. The Discovery is a good choice if maintained properly.
Great work 👍👍👍 every Landrover owner should have a pit in there garage 👍
Yes, it should come with the vehicle.
That, right there, is the main reason I can't face the idea of trading in my D2 for a D3.
To have half a chance of doing these kind of jobs easily, you need a D3 that's always been looked-after, and has no rusty nuts and bolts... which you can't rely on when you buy a 10 year old vehicle.
Oh, how I wish JLR had designed the D3 as an evolution of the D2, perhaps based on a Defender 110 chassis.
Much respect for taking these jobs on, rather than handing it over to a specialist.
Thanks. Such vehicles in Germany are like new after 10 years. There is hardly no salt and the roads have no bumps. They are dealer-maintained too up to 150t km. Then they are cheap to buy because they are expensive to drive for non-DIY folks.
Great channel, great videos
Thanks 😊🙋♀️ Vera
Brilliant 👍👍 I will get my wife on it straight away 👍👍
That worked for me ok ! I just have to let Vera know when it’s time for lunch so that she can take care of that too.
@@Vera_and_Christian🤣🤣🤣
Really enjoyed seeing the removal of EPB module. I’ve previously serviced the drum components and that stopped the screech for me, but still get the odd small screech here and there, think I might have a go at the gear set!
😃👍 I just got a epb warning last week, so we need to readjust it again. 🙋♀️ Vera
@@Vera_and_Christian Have fun! I just watched the diff pinion seal video and it was very good! (Christian needs to say please and Thankyou to you more 😝)
@@timdaff 😅👍🙋♀️ Vera
Good job you two. This video once again makes me wish I have a pit in my garage or some sort of lift! I cannot imagine how unpleasant this sort of job would be without that.
Here's an idea for a video series: Purchase a distressed Discovery 3 and restore it for Vera to drive. P.S. - You have a beautiful home.
Hello Allen, thank you. We plan to buy an other vehicle in 2021 but there are a few obstacles. First I have to fix the transmission of the Challenger and then sell it. It will be like selling a fridge in the arctic. Once done, we will actually buy a Range Rover Sport. It is the same platform as the Discovery 3 but a bit more sporty. Its cheaper and better available in Germany. It also comes with a diesel V8. This is what our channel will bring in 2021. You know now more than anybody else.
@@Vera_and_Christian Sounds great. My friend has a Range Rover Sport and likes it but preferred her LR3!
Great vidoes, I love them, I have today done my park brake shoes on a LR3, and i noticed there are some notches on the splash plate where the adjusters are. :)
You may prep a video for the underbody paint job if possible. We love all the stuff you’ve doing. Thank you 🙏
We have, czcams.com/video/Kbl6CD3BGN4/video.html you have to look around on our channel and see that we have covered quite a few topics. 🙋♀Vera
the real problem is being able to disassemble it without the hole and without the lift available I have to do it on my 2012 range rover but going under an almost 3 ton car with stands I don't trust it very much thanks for your videos it's nice to share
We only have the lift for 8 months now. And, when the RTT is on, we couldn't even get into the Garage. We have certainly done our fair share of repaires, more than enough, on the ground on jack stands. It is absolutely doable. Get yourself some good jack stands. 👍🙋♀️Vera
i dont have a pit dug in my drive way, so i guess i'll have to lift my wifes D3 6 foot in the air! ;)
Great job you pair. Thank you for sharing!
😅 yeah we got lucky when we bought this house, but we have been fixing cars 20 years without a pit, it's doable. And the downside, you can fall into the pit (Christian did, not me 😅)🙋♀️Vera
You guys are a great team. But I think I may just remove the fuse and never use it 😂.
Brilliant work you really work together well and both have great sense of humour
Thanks Enduro Man.
You guys are make me laugh. Subbed 🤣👍🏼
The algorithm needs lots of comments!!
Had to be recovered on a truck yesterday. The park brake was stuck on making a horrible noise, so I used the emergency release which didn’t release the brake and locked the gearbox in park 🤦. Got it home and stripped down, cables cut to release the park brake, park brake unit remove ( I used you video to follow, which was great. Mine has Adblue so a little extra work to remove the tank) I’ve opened the electric motor and gearbox to expect the little plastic cogs to be stripped and everything is OK??? Not sure what has caused it, so a full rear brake rebuild and new cogs on order. Your video was excellent 👍
That suck,s , our’s was jammed once too, offroad in the Alps. But we could release it. We did the rebuild then in the following winter. When you watch that video, you see that the gears itself did not look damaged or worn out. But definitely be rather safe than sorry. 👍🙋♀️Vera
Fantastic comedy act with some fun and useful tips thrown in 👍🏻 A bigger pit would be useful to 🤣 You both do make this look simple and understandable 😀 If people maintained their vehicles better they wouldn’t have half the issues. If you put a vehicle in a shop no way they’d pay the attention to detail as you two do 🤣 I spent a lot of time drive lorries in Germany 🇩🇪 to the Siemens factoring Erlangen. Oh did I enjoy a stein of beer 🍺 and bratwurst 🌭 yumm yum 😋 Cheers Stevie 😎🏴
Don't put into actual words that we need a bigger pit😅, knowing Christian, he's waiting for an excuse to tear down our Garage and build a bigger shop 😂💪👍🙋♀️ Vera
I'm really enjoying your channel, the interaction as a couple is sometimes very amusing and I'm wondering if speaking inot in your native language cushions some of the blows. Vera is amazing and so supportive of the work, just by being there even, my wife would be nowhere near the garage unless she needs something from the freezer.
👍😀🙋♀️ Vera
Another job that I will be taking the lr3 in for. Way too much work. I did my old defender but won't be doing this. Great job on the frame cleaning and painting
Thanks. And nothing was expensive!
The main thing you did wrong was your supposed do the first side with Vera watching then tell her "Its your turn to do the other side now you've seen how its done" and then video Vera trying to do it herself. Great videos, I've just found your channel and I'm bing watching them all.
😃👍When you write me an email with your adress, I'll send you one of our stickers 🙋♀️ Vera
I own a disco3 XS, saw this video, decided a parking brake is not that vital. ;) But all jokes aside, love the videos! But still terrified to do this on my own with limited tools/working space.
Hope your car is not badly corroded. That makes it much harder. 😬 Christian
@@Vera_and_Christian Italian import, so pretty much 0 rust (for now) thanks for the replay Christian :)
Great video! Very useful for Disco 3 owners! Thanks!
At the end, did you only brake by engaging the EPB on the move? Did you do this to test that everything is working well? Doesn't that put a lot of strain on the EPB module?
Keep up the good work!
The TÜV inspector also used the electric hand brake this way. He had an electronic diagnostic tool which measured the vehicle response. The the manual describes the hand brake switch as a emergency brake as well. I am not sure if the electric brake actuator is actually used when doing this while driving... Somethin I need to look into.
@@Vera_and_Christian very interesting! thanks!
Vera, you still fit your twenty years old trousers? Well done girl, impressive. 😉
😅👍 Thanks🙋♀️Vera
You can fit both springs first, then the adjuster, this way you do jot over stretch the small spring
The springs drive me crazy every time. Looks easy in the vid but took me 20 min. Thanks for the tip.
@@Vera_and_Christian make sure the adjuster is wound in fully before fitting it to the park brake shoes
I love your the way you guys work together. I am always in the garage but my wife only ever comes in with the tea. just one point could you have done the job without taking the cables out?
For Christian, that was not an option. You have to open the EPB Box then underneath the car and dirt/dust or debris can enter this delicate system. So you may can, but we would never do it. 🙋♀️ Vera
That was fun, thank goodness my car doesn't have an electric handbrake. 👍
Thanks. We thought about printing a T-shirt. We survived the LR3 hand brake repair.
What paint did you use for the paint job, it looks so good now. (would you consider doing a video on how to do that, clean up the rust and paint?)
We have a video about how we undercoated our Disco czcams.com/video/Kbl6CD3BGN4/video.html 🙋♀️ Vera
Another great video guys. Just taken my EPB off with a view to rebuild. A question if I may; What type of grease did you use to to re-grease the components - I can just about make our assembly grease from the video but is it a white lithium grease?
It was assembly grease. So clear bearing grease. It was not lithium based. Christian
What kind of grease are you using to lubricate the sliding parts and gears please Christian? It looks like the tube say's assembly grease. Thank you for your awesome videos, you guys are fantastic.
Superb video yet again. Way beyond my capabilities but good to know what's involved. Thank you. Just a quick question.. How did you do the emergency stop at the end of the video?
You pull on the E - Brake Button. 👍🙋♀️ Vera
@@Vera_and_Christian thanks Vera. I probably won't be trying it out soon 😂😂
Hi is there a calibration / reset procedure you have to do when everythink is back together
Vera, "IT'S NEVER YOUR FAULT"
Mind you, fab video and great content.
Hello Darran, thanks. No taking side here please. Lol.
Thanks, we appreciate positive feedback a lot. Makes it worth while doing videos.
👍🏻👍🏻
I enjoy every video, you guys make it fun.
Hi Christian and Vera, I have used your videos on several occasions to help me maintain my 08 LR3, thank you very much. I am now working on the EPB. What grease would you recommend for the gears on the EPB please? I can see a tube in the video but not the writing. Thanks Chris
Why did you have to drill out the holes of the mounting screws ?
Oh my goodness what a great paint job.
There was a risk of breaking the plastic taps off because the bolts were so corroded. 🙋♀️ Vera
Greetings, marvellous to watch. What size amp leads are you test running the EPB motor with. Thanks in advance
I am not quite sure. I own a couple of test leads and alligator clamps from Amazon. Not the very cheap ones. Christian
@@Vera_and_Christian Thanks, the wires I was using to test the EPB motor were to light. I made a couple out of house electrical cable I had. motor works fine. 😊
Another great Video, from You and The Missus, Conscise and Informative, keep it up.
By the way, What Grey/Black Fleece are you wearing and where can I get one.
Regards.
You mean my classic gray Northface fleece? It is 21 years old and it’s called a Denali fleece. It’s still available in the US outlets. Not sure if it is sold in Germany.
@@Vera_and_Christian Awsome, Many Thanks I will look it up , I Normally Wear "Buffalo" A Type of Smock, I have 4 varying Types, One is 26yrs Old.
I served 24yrs in The British Military, Most of it from Bases in Germany, Hence the Tail Light quip, I even served in Brooke/Wavell Bks in 80's and Guarded Rondolf Hess...
Thank you very much for the Reply, And Keep it up, A great Inspiration, Both of You.
Regards Shane.
What a phaff another great how to video
Thanks. Glad it was not received as a "how not to" video.
Hi guys. I have a memory of Christian saying something about not using the EPB auto release. Did I imagine this? I am not sure which video he said this but I am sure he was reading from the manual. I've just watched this video through and didn't hear anything. Does anyone remember what was said? Thanks and thank you as always for the content!
I loved my Discovery 3. Until I started working on it.
Christian, the e-brake and brakes in general have. been the greatest annoyance and expense with our LR. I wish you had gone slower and with more light in the critical final assembly steps. Very glad to view your video nevertheless.
With the 30K I do each year, with salt from road...it should be announced loud and clear to open the brake system up to clean and lube before parking for the winter rest...or in spring if you do run through winter...
You are fortunate to have a well configured garage!...and moderate winters to work in.
PS - you didn’t do the e-brake series of secret switch moves and 10 stop “setting” of the e-pads!...or did I miss that ...?
I'm doing this at the moment on my Disco 4 I havent got the room above the spare wheel from behind as you do. The hole is a lot smaller I can only get 1 arm in. Is your disc 3 slightly different chassis/spare wheel locater than mine?
I don’t know, sorry. Christian
