Brake warning wire challenge

u On my list of frustrating jobs are those that should be simple, but due to the design of the vehicle can take a little longer than expected.

One such job was the replacement of brake pads on this 2013 Land Rover Discovery 4. To be specific, the replacement of the brake pads was simple. The problem was fitting the new warning light wire, which for some reason known only to Land Rover has been tucked up under the very secure inner wing with no simple access route.

Removing the inner wing and plugging in the new warning light wire took as long as the rest of the brake pad change job.

The warning light wire needed to be replaced as having done its job it had now selfdestructed, and the connecting loop had been cut through by the contact with the brake disc.

The warning light wire is routed in a ridiculously inaccessible position behind the inner wheelarch.
