United Kingdom 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE Auto Buckingham BlueDiscovery 3
All in 1 week

I have had the D3 since October and have really got the D3 bug. Great 4 x 4

It has run perfectly until this last week. Now have suspension fault, amber warning light and last night the EPB started sticking on! I have never had the dreaded screech and it has been perfect until now.

Already booked in for ARB bushes and possible Ball joints next week so its going to cost more than I thought. Recently done all belts and tensioner s at LR dealer although only 82,000 miles, was worried about age more than mileage.

I am told the suspension could be the compressor and the EPB the actuator. Any ideas? 2 x D3's (Twins)

The suspension could be many things, need it plugged in and report on the fault codes stored.

The EPB is probably only the shoes worn, or out of adjustment. Possibly even seized levers.

Be wary of the EPB module needing replaced. We have repaired 4 now, which have been condemned by "other" garages Whistle My D3 Build Thread

Thanks DM for the advice. Will heed your advice on dealer wanting to replace the EPB.

Your comments prompted me on the advice slip when I had full service and belts done. They did say shoes were down but may last to next service, they probably haven't with a bit of luck!

Thanks
