Discovery 4 Parking Brake Module

Parking Brake Module for the Discovery 4: an electronic parking brake module.

Sensors and modules for the vehicles with electronics, which is everything from the Discovery 3 onwards and a good deal before. ABS sensors, height sensors and the transfer box motor account for a large share of warning lights. Many modules need programming after fitting, and every listing says whether yours does. The Discovery 4 is the Discovery 3 made better, but the 3.0 V6 diesel carries a crankshaft failure risk that every owner ought to know about.

Fitting

Labour guide: about 2 hours. Land Rover changes specification mid production, often by VIN rather than by model year, so send the VIN or the registration with the order and we confirm the part against the build data before anything leaves. It takes two minutes and it is the difference between a part that fits and a return. We are an independent Land Rover specialist and parts supplier. We are not Land Rover or Jaguar Land Rover and are not appointed by them; the model names are their trademarks and are used here to describe fitment. Everything we sell is chosen for vehicles that actually get used: towed with, loaded, driven through water and parked in fields, rather than for the brochure.

Which version to buy

Remanufactured is stripped to the casting, measured, rebuilt with new bearings seals and wear parts and rig tested, with a surcharge refunded on your old unit. New Unit is a brand new unit rather than an exchange, for when your old one is past rebuilding or you cannot be without the vehicle while we assess the core.
