Just cleaning the car as you do on a nice sunny Sunday afternoon and took out drivers mat to hoover the carpet.

What's this black cover next to the battery compartment?

Emergency Release for "something"

30447

but doesnt go into more detail, nor is there a schematic it would normally lead too

My discovery has a little plastic cover you remove to find a pull cable to emergency release the electronic parking brake , maybe this is a similar feature on the q7 just in a bit of a different location. Discoveries are very prone to trouble with their electronic Park brake hence why they maybe put the emergency release in a more convenient location than the q7 if indeed that is what it is

In tool box roll in boot there is a red plastic tool when used in socket on photo it disengages the Auto gear box to allow towing.

Yeah I got that then

but in quite a few photos of new cars and the one I test drove the shows a long black back guessing around 3 foot long just laying in the boot
i keep trying to get a phot of this as mine never came with this and was wondering what was in it?

thanks for your help?
