Therefore you can conclude that your park brake appears to be working fine . . . .
Ride-height, mine never settles evenly with engine off, level when running though.
Get the strut sorted asap.

I believe that the automatic park brake release is only from the 2007 model for a manual.

That's how it is supposed to work!

Read your manual again.

Back in the game!

2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Manual Rimini Red

I don't think it is working correctly, if you just press down the button without touching the pedals the park brake should remain on and you should get the message
'Press brake pedal or clutch and park brake to release."
applies to my Nov 04 manual anyway. D3 TDV6SE

the park brake will release with 5% movement of the throttle.

But not when in reverse

Thanks for the input fellas

I will ask the question when I get the boot strut sorted at Duckworths.

Ref your boot strut. Do not let it detach itself! mine came away and caused me a lot of hassle getting a satisfactory repair, it damaged the bodywork around the fastening. If you have a slim 13mm spanner, nip it up yourself if Duckworths can't fix it immediately.
