Hi aawren

In the front of your owners manual you will find the company that originally sold the car.

Ring them and provide them with your V/N number and they will provide you with the code, write it down for when ever you disconect the battery to save yourself this problem again.

Failing this in the event that you cant find your owners manual, ring Land Rover Australia direct and follow the same procedure as above.

Hope this helps!

Hi.

I had this problem on my discovery 300 tdi, behind the gove box is a black box bolted onto the small bulkhead if you open this, you will find a circuit board with 2 plugs going into it, this is the ecu for the windows you will find that there will be a dry soldier joint on the circuit board just check this, my discovery had the same problem, re-soldiered the circuit board and all works fine.

If you google for landrover forums you will find the answer on there.

hope this helps.

There is a procedure for emergency EPB release, which is worth a try to make it go temporarily; Turn off engine. Select P if auto, apply foot brake. Push and hold EPB switch/lever down. Turn ignition on, wait for system check to cycle. Start engine. Release EPB switch/lever. The EPB should have now released
