Is it my imagination,or....
Did the EPB used to automatically activate when switching the ignition off ?.... "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

I thought I was going mad...I always apply it manually,but forgot this morning and half expected it to automatically apply........the wife's Golf has a 2-stage system,hill-hold and fully automatic when you cut the ignition......I've been driving the Discovery so infrequently recently I couldn't remember if it did or not.... "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

My wife also has a Golf (about 10 months old), but that still has a proper handbrake. It's great and I don't have to worry about it not working Andy

I hate EPB's and always have done.....it's an unnecessary addition to the list of "things to go wrong" in my book.....give me an old fashioned handbrake every time.....the one I had in my Audi A6 was so bad,if it didn't release automatically the first time,you had to put the car in neutral,and start the whole procedure all over again,or attempt a proper old fashioned hill-start....completely pointless and very annoying "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

Thank you,I must have had a brief moment of flashback to my manual D3,and clearly too much time in the wife's Golf has advanced my senility "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...
