45,000 mile service

My D3 is off for its 45,000 mile service tomorrow, although it has done 46,780 miles. No problems apart from a horrible noise when the park brake is applied. I think it may be the park brake motor.
There is a message on the dash saying that an oil service is due and how many miles it is over due. This only shows on start up for a few seconds.
 In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

They are keeping my car as it needs new park brake components. I should get it back tomorrow.

They disabled my service indicator as it apparently does not work correctly... Confused

Are your PB components covered under warranty ?

If its fair wear and tear I doubt it, but I think it is the motor or whatever the motor drives to engage the brake.
The first time it occurred I was in a garage refuelling, the noise was so loud even the people in the shop heard it and looked out to see what it was.
Imagine a 9” angle grinder cutting a metal sheet, an impact wrench tightening nuts and someone trying to start a car that’s already running then amplify the noise 10 fold.
The dash display informed me that there was a problem with the park brake “No Sh*t Sherlock”.
I half expected to be stuck on the forecourt, however the car allowed me to drive away with an amber warning on the dash. It then happened when I stopped 10 minutes later on site. The car was parked for about an hour and on my return the fault had disappeared.
I was in Leeds at the time and had a fair way to travel home, as you can imagine I did not stop on the way.
