4tfamily, There are lots of issues with wiring on these vehicles.
There is an overlay that correct a poor splice in the park brake harness,
BUT if the connector at the epb module is already f..d up, then you probably needed the connector end anyway.
If you don't have the correct terminal release tool, or the anti back out tab was not released, the connector could be destroyed trying to remove the wires.
It's difficult to stomach spending tons of money repairing a vehicle, any vehicle.
Some repairs, even the most simple ones turn to ****, things break while you're fixing other things.
I wouldn't be surprised if your air suspension defaults when the tech think they're finished with it.
All you can do is hope your Indy shop is trying to do the right thing for you.
You will eventually get your issues sorted.


Cheers

What roof are we meeting at???
The tallest one around. I don't plan on botching this project.

The sad thing is it's such an emotional thing. We love our rigs and yet they cause so much pain at times.
I remember owning my 01 RR HSE. It was awesome until it needed a thousand dollars worth of work. And I maintained it religiously.

What I want to see happen is just get this thing out of the shop and drive it and chip away at the neglected maintainence. Fluids belts etc.

Good point. I do believe they are trying to do the best they can do for me. However, I got the call that it was ready on Thursday and they asked me if I wanted it washed. I said no cause I need to fix the leak behind the A pillar. No more water inside if it can be avoided.
With that, I say I'll take a half day on Friday and come pick it up at one pm. They say ok and I go home on Friday and pick up my wife and kids and tell the kids they can ride in the back on the way home. They are 7 and 3. They are super excited. So we drive 45 minutes and I pull in and the Landy is nowhere to be seen. I know this is a bad sign. They take me out back where the tech is working on it and he can't get the air out of the system. So we wait for a half hour. Nothing. So I leave and go to a relatives house for a couple hours. Then I call and they tell me the tech will stay till it's finished. At 7 I pull into the parking lot and don't see the rig after being told they will leave the key on the wheel. I get another call and the tech can't fix it and he left. My rig is locked up in the garage.
So I am now told it could be a radiator issue or a water pump issue. Either 600 or 300 after I have already paid them 3k.
So the hits keep coming.

All Rovers, frankly, any British automotives are this way. When they work, they're the best on the planet. When they don't -- you're in for a bumpy ride. It's a labor of love that is very trying at times. There's an old saying... Smart men drive Toyota, passionate men drive Land Rovers.

I feel for you, I do. When things are going badly, I really am tempted to do a viking funeral pire in my driveway...

I just had suspension drop, about a dozen codes across several control units last nite, ended up another broken splice in the passenger rocker, and a connection came unplugged behind that kick panel, now all is well and the nav even works again
