Ok it’s released now . Have removed the fuse so as it’s doesnt operate. Needs to go into the garage suspect it’s going to need new shoes and discs at worse an EPB module as well . Drove it home a short distance not realised it’s was jammed !!! Stinking smell. Starting to dislike this car.

Still jammed on will attempt a strip out of the brake parts as advised by local Indy so as to get us moving at least . I’m spewing with this just now. Fuel gauge also now gone to zero and not reading any fuel. Seriously thinking of getting rid once all fixed

Yes thought you would be and so is your friends down here. Cars booked in for Wed to free off if I cannot do it. Then mid October for a proper fix. Never rains but pours , will attempt myself to unjam the EPB . See if I can get the shoes off, otherwise stuck . Fuel gauge is just adding to the issues. Seriously contemplating the long term future of this car and if its what I really need now. Not 100% convinced the ongoing costs are worth it. However we will see.

Interesting drive to pick the abandoned car stutter stall stutter stall. Anyways got to the bottom of that the fuse for EPB doesn’t like being left out !!!! Put it back in and fuel gauge working and no
More stutter. That might have been given the impression of seized discs ?? However it’s still but it can drive at least! Disco Mikey going to look at your unjam guide and see if I can manage something on my drive prior to getting the discs changed. Think I’m punching above my weight here!! Used to love working on cars but this thing gives me the

That fuse not only controls the EPB, it also protects anti stall and cruise control so what you experienced is about par for the course. Mods:
Front Fogs + Halos
FBH Remote Control
The 1st Ever RRS Modded Grill
Garmin Nuvi + D4 Surround + Reversing Camera.
D4 Steering Wheel.
Rear Boot Spoiler.
Twin Brake Lights.
Wing Mirror Indicator Repeaters.
Long Roof Rails

I'm not scared, I'm outta here.

Roflol yep anyway days ended slightly better than it started albeit feck knows how you can get into that box and unjam. Mr Gadget arms for take the cover of which I did but god knows from the guide what I’m supposed to hit. So took the sensible approach which is what I should of done long before and threw the towel in and let someone else who knows what they are doing , fix it !!

It’s the price you pay for neglecting maintenance, blame the owner not the car It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
