Yeah, I am not going to spend much on it, if complicated or expensive.I've had my LR4 for 3.5 years, and the only time I've ever used my parking brake was when I bedded the parking brake pads into my new rear rotors.

My LR3 Parking Brake finally failed (or worked VERY intermittently) and I got the same feedback as you... possibly from the same guy.Related to parking brake use:
I've actually had a trusted Land Rover mechanic/friend of mine tell me that I should not use the parking brake any more than absolutely necessary. He said that because of the design and the expense of fixing it, it's just not worth it....

I'm on my 3rd Rover product and have always routinely set the brake when I park, whether I'm on a grade or on perfectly flat ground. Is this what most of you do? I've never had a problem with a Land Rover EPB.
Chain guides done on the 225K girl?
Always looking for more data points.
No, not yet - maybe we got lucky. Oil changes done at 5-7k intervals.
However we did have to recently replace all injectors and both HPFPs - running rich, leaking into the block. Now the engine runs like new.
Also, crossover pipe and water pump(s), hoses, thermo, etc. all replaced over the life. LCAs too, of course.
We love this truck.
