Ah cloth delaminating..look no further,water in cabin Definitely roof drains clogged..usually no cleaning them.Ive taken it in..both times to dealer as putting inside roof back on too tricky for our mechanic..which was $700 odd dollars each time.: (

I am curious on the ebrake though as my daughter thinks she wants an LR3- looks like the actuators go for around $150 on ebay - so what gets so expensive? I have see the parts under the disc - looks like normal drum brake setup.

Parking brake Actuator new is about $650-900+ for the part..I vaguely remember it is an upgraded one ..an old one has a plastic weak point that is known to break.Once that part breaks to get tail gate open you must break out of the car from the inside.Its not easy either.Our neighbor got ours open in about two hours.Had to cut/ lift part of carpet to get to it.
The motor of actuator was working ,all he did is he used a strong paper clip to re-attach the cable and Wal La we were good to go.God bless him.
