Hi everyone. Bought a Rangerover HSE 2008 last week and have noticed that the car is very slow to take off.

Hi Everyone As the title suggests the handbrake on my 2006 RRS has started to squeal when I put it on. I know this is a common problem and I've read heaps of old forum posts on the matter but as yet have not found any advice on how to adjust or fix it at home cheaply if indeed that is at all...

Hello I have a 2004MY RR Vogue that has, in my opinion, excessive hand travel, 6-7 clicks which is still not far enough to hold the vehicle, I have the marks on the front bumper to prove it. The cables (both) and shoes have been replaced, but the hand-brake travel is still 6-7 clicks. This does...

Having done a bit of searching it seems like this is a fairly common problem? The handbrake on my car 2003 has been slack for a while but is now none existent! I've adjusted the little cog thing (technical term) behind the brake discs and even replaced the handbrake shoes, to no avail. I've...

I have an L322 M/Y 2004 that has excessive handbrake travel. The garage says that they cannot adjust it as this is linked to the brake system. I am sure that there must be a linkage adjustment. Please help, I will have arms like Popeye soon. Many thanks, Paul

Hi, my handbrake has stopped working and the red light is flashing. The RR dealer gave a complicated answer and wanted a fortune for fixing it. I never use it though as I live in a country with no hills. Any advice? Thanks

Hi, I have a 02 Range Rover Vogue, The disc and back brakes over heated, have replaced rear pads, still over heating. Must be the handbrake cable or shoes, have put new shoes in. The hand brake itself seems free when you pull on it but when it is reassembled with the new shoes, adjuster slacked...

Hi fellow P38-istas. Anyone have suggestions on how to pull the parking brake cable up far enough to get the clevis pin back into the handbrake handle? I am ~1/8" short of being able to get the pin back in. Have searched for a thread on this topic but cannot find one; if I have missed it...

Hello. I have a Range Rover Sport 2.7 from 2006, i changed the electrical hand brake, but I don't know where should I connect the final cable from the electrical handbrake. This is the controller of the car, and the final of the handbrake cable is in the red dot: This is the final cable...

hi all, bit of advice please... almost finished the resto of the old girl so its shortly going to be MOT test time. I have noticed that the handbrake lever itself is sort of "springy". That is... when it is off i can push the lever down but it springs back up about 3/4 inch. Applying the brake...
