How to Repair the Parking Brake on the Land Rover Discovery

Model: Land Rover Discovery MK 3, LR3, Discovery 3, L319 - Years 2004-2010
Part: Parking brake

If the electric parking brake on your Land Rover Discovery 3 does not engage or is stuck, and you hear clicks and noises, as shown in the video, you need to repair or replace it. If you go to a shop, they will likely opt for a complete replacement of the part. The problem is probably due to a lack of adjustment between the brakes and the white plastic lock of the electric parking brake. By rotating the round element with a pin as shown in the video, you can gradually remove both the pin and the white plastic box. At this point, clean it and ensure that the teeth are not worn. Reassemble everything.
