there is a piece in the recent "ORIGINAL" magazine for OE parts customers landrover/jaguar etc on how to re-calibrate but its basically as follows
1 Reset EPB module
a) switch off ign
b) disconnect battery for 30s
c) reconnect battery
2 Start the engine
3 Firmly apply and release the footbrake 5 times
4 Confirm the message "NOT CALIBRATED" or "APPLY FOOT AND PARK BRAKE" is displayed on message centre parking brake is now in calibration mode
5 Lightly press footbrake pedal
6 Apply the parkingbrake by using EPB switch
7 Release the parking brake
8 Release Footbrake
9 Check message has cleared and warning light not illuminated
10 Apply and release EPB 5 times to check no errors
However we did rear pads and discs on an S type last week and i didnt disconnect battery all i did was ensure cables were sufficiently slack with handbrake off and both caliper levers were fully back, fitted pads as normal then carefully pumped out pistons and applied EPB switch a few times, then a road test to bed in, checked brakes on rolling road all ok and rechecked resting positions of caliper levers and cables and were fully releasing ok
i didnt fancy disconnecting battery unless it was essential as likely introduce other faults etc
