Whether you use it or not when it comes to your mot and the tester comes to apply it and it's siezed you may have a problem???

Well took Dom's advice i have contacted LR Customer services and they have said they will look into it ...

Another thing that maybe someone more enlightened than me on this matter is ....

The car was parked on my daughters driveway nose in , now when the AA guy came out he couldn't even release the handbrake using the emergency cable that is underneath the centre console when he took it apart .... so the car wouldn't even move at all so he told me ...

So how would the LR tow truck get the vehicle out as it would need to be dragged from the rear end out onto the road before he would be able to get it on the truck ??

Even if they lifted the rear end would they have been able to pull it out that way ??

As the car was at my daughters when it got lifted i have no idea what they did it ....

It never got lifted by any HIAB type truck as my daughter said it was a flatbed lorry

If ther rear is lifted and it's taken out of park, then it would be free to roll.

The EPB release can require an extraordinary amount of force - there was an episode on Disco3 where one guy was rather discontented with the advice given, in good faith, to pull like , which had, unfortunately, resulted in a snapped cable. Physical violence was threatened...

I agree with Dom, it should be covered under warranty, but do bear in mind the fix if you can't get anywhere.  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Ah well LR customer services got back to her and after speaking with the dealership it's not covered under warranty ... so she will just have to get her purse out ...

Try the fix first. In fact, you could get Mikey to do it.  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

I hope she trims it first, or are LR Service Managers an unfussy bunch?  Si. <This is my name.

A man ain't truly been insulted until he stands buck naked in front of a woman and she didn't even notice. Or care.

Funny thing happened yesterday - (not!) I was pulling away from a junction and there was a big bang from the rear and the FF stopped , no drive no gears.. ( I wont go off topic with what happened ) but I was chatting to the nice recovery chap and asked him what would have happened if the gearbox had locked up the drivetrain. He said that they have low friction pads they put under the wheels and drag the car onto the recovery truck.

So no lift required although i don't think I would have liked to see it been dragged !!
