Unfortunately the Electronic Parking Brake failed in the on position, so I couldn't move the car, and sods law the XC was on the end of my drive blocking every other car. In the end I had to get underneath, and spend a couple of hours swearing whilst trying to unbolt the EPB motors. Not an easy task at ground level! I'd changed the rear discs and pads last year, so lucky I knew how they were attached. There really should be some kind of manual release. If it had have happened away from home, it would have needed some kind of recovery. Anyway, thanks to this forum, I quickly worked out that the Park Brake Module was probably at fault. So after a new PBM and the relevant coding (£250+vat) I have a working EPB. __________________ Now: - MY12 XC60 SE Lux Premium D3 Geartonic AWD, MY09 XC70 D5 SE Lux Geartronic AWD, MY08 C70 SE Lux D5 Geartronic & 1994 480GT Previously: - MY08 V50 2.0D SE Lux, MY08 S40 1.8 SE, MY10 C70 SE Lux 2.0D Powershift, & ’99 V40 2.0T SE Lux
