Why does it do that??
No idea Discodad................... my FFRR did it too and so did the Freelander I ran before that.Now a disillusioned new Land Rover buyer and have jumped ship to something less expensive and more reliable that hugs trees.... now driving a Mini Countryman PHEV as well as my trusty and brilliant 1996 Epsom Green Defender90 Tdi300
I suppose it must be to warn drivers behind that you are slowing down if you are returning to a pre-set slower speed on the cruise. It doesn't actually brake though does it?Back in the game!

I rarely use the park brake, unless on steep slopes, as all the threads on here have scared me off using it in case it goes horribly wrong! IE - 05 D3 TDV6 HSE - Zambezi Silver
SA - 07 VW Golf TDI - White - Sold!

I always use it.
The bit I didn't know was the one regarding the "Park Position". Thanks for the advice!
However, IMHO Park brake should be automatic. i.e.: when you switch off the engine, should be self-engaging.PG'ed
I thought the auto applied the hand brake whenever the car stopped?
Mine doesn't. But it automatically releases the parking brake when the accelerator is pushed. 2006 Zermatt Silver TDV6 'SE' Auto, Mantec sump guard, Frontrunner roofrack, Lightforce 140s, split charge system and... a Jetboil.
