Range Rovers!

If I understand correctly its the range rover and not the new EVO jock

If its the old style RR it does have a service mode and bedding in mode.

To put them in either of the two modes above the sequence/procedure is very similar and by chance it's possible to select the wrong mode-from memory if the EPB switch is operated less then the other procedure "service mode " is activated- instead of " bedding in"
The service mode will turn the EPB off to allow repairs to be carried out
After the sequence has been carried out to select bedding mode- the message on the dash will state "bedding mode"
so the EPB can be tested.
Where" service mode " is displayed on the dash the EPB cannot be tested.
If the EPB was not working as it should,the dashboard would be lit up like a Xmas tree with malfunction lamps on.

Not saying that the sequence was not carried out correctly jock by the way , it could well be a soft where issue.

We've tested 12 plate RR,RRS and Discovery using the info from the old VSI and the instructions are the same as for older models, we kept some old vt 40"s that's how we know

I will speak to my pal at land rover see if anything has changed jock

Sounds bad but put it on a hill see if it holds in future. Thats what i do i am very honest but when it comes to £30000 worth of a vehicle i wont be honest without 100% i have reliable data to help me!!

One of the last tests I did on comp1 was a Range Rover. It was the first one I've done with this EPB procedure. I thought I had done it wrong as the park brake didn't do anything while in the mode as indicated on the dash. So I parked it on a slight slope and held the button up and let go of the service brake. It started rolling down but I could feel the park brake trying to grab. Did the decel again then failed it. My point is at no point did it apply the service brake.

It wasn't in bedding mode when I tried it

I'm with markmotman use common sense and put it on a steep hill

'Great Britain' it says under Country of Registration on this comp2; on comp1 it was just GB Grievous bodily harm?

Two step back for every one forward? Took VSI for granted with comp1; didn't read it less had to, no its gone I miss it, why because its them and us. They have their remit and we have ours. 

Modernisation refers to a model of a progressive transition from a 'pre-modern' or 'traditional' to a 'modern' society.

If we are Great then give us what we need to perform: The Civil Service helps the government of the day develop and implement its policies as effectively as possible.

WE TESTERS AS CIVIL SERVANTS NEED TO PERFORM, give us what we need.

  'if we still had the VSI details there would have been no problem'.

except maybe a summary sheet to go with it:)

Is that the same as the evoke jock?
I am not convinced that you have tested it incorrectly, the LR dealer may have just carried out a gradient test , I think that it is supposed to be 1 in 6 to be the equivalent of 16%

Ask yourself a few questions
1/ Have you used a decelrometer to check the park brake efficiency as per the inspections manual.
2/ when you enter the brake results onto comp 2 for park brake efficacy what are you going to enter
3/ Has the park brake reached its requirement to pass the mot .checking it on a hill is not the moi is it
I will let you think about them for a short while

I would of thought that any mot test station worth its salt would of copied the procedure for a range cover EPB
If you haven't then the effort should be made to find out ,if you can't then you can't test the park brake .
