Totally agree with Andy. Don=92t go there!!!

As a Land Rover Discovery 4 owner which has the same handbrake, after
spending the last day relining the handbrake, one side of which the =
linings
had disappeared, I can relate to his frustration. Evidently badly =
adjusted
at one time.

As it is controlled by a computer, I cannot even contemplate what the
archaic charging system on a Healey would do to that ($$$$$$).

I am just hoping that someone out there in Land Rover land has come with =
a
manual conversion system like a Healey already has.

Hi Alan

Great till they go wrong and cost 10x the amount of a cable system.

My Range Rover sport lost the end from one of the motor driven cables =
and
this then pulled the cable in locking up the motor. Impossible to then
drive! A garage would just change the motor/ cable assembly costing =
=A3500 for
parts and then have to strip and set up both sides. So 3 times the price
with labour.

I googled the issue (same system on jags etc) and it is possible (after =
a
couple of hours! Upside down under the car!) to free up the motor shaft.
Then it took a couple more hours to strip brakes and setup. Try =
searching
all the issues!

So no thanks, most owners would prefer the 'old system'!

My BJ8 (and also my Jag Mk IX) both have rear disc brakes. =20

=20

I was wondering if anyone has ever thought to install electronic parking
brakes on their cars?  Anyone with experience/thoughts?

=20

I just got a Tesla BJ-S and I have to say I really like the electronic
e-brake it has.

Best,
