Might be simpler, but where do you get the pads with that option?

I would say you can't get them.
But simple tech usually more reliable.
Like a back street Landy specialist said to me, Land Rovers aren't reliable, but easy to fix.

i did however decided to disconnect the battery for 15 minutes on a subsequent attempt. Started the engine to make sure all was well and then went for a reset. guess what? yes it reset itself to 43,000 miles. Job done.

Possibly this was the trick that nobody else mentions or it was just a coincidence.

so for what its worth, try the battery disconnect, but don't close the boot like i nearly did lol.

I'm in a similar position - its obviously something that causes people pain... I have changed the pads and sensor (despite it looking perfectly ok), but it wont change the yellow warning on screen. :headbang: Am I doing anything wrong?

It looks like its about to reset the miles but doesnt change.

I've tried disconnecting the battery too but no joy. Can Carly do this?

Thanks!

The reset I believe has to be done with the electronic parking brake off?

Had this same issue recently. I posted it on another thread except mine was the front brakes, same thing though you have release the electronic parking brake before you can reset it.

:thumbsup: Hopefully this will save some other people some time... I haven't spotted anyone saying to release the parking brake on the videos I saw (or I conveniently ignored that part! ) :D

I once tried every variation, still ended up at a indy for a £10er.
