Thread: Have i got ABS brakes on my 92 RRC Vogue SE - How to Bleed them?

They're normal non ABS brakes, RRC ABS had this hideous hydraulic lump where your booster sits. Disco's had normal remote ABS with a booster like yours. Now in your case, unless your pedal is dropping to the floor I'd say your booster is dying. Find a d1 booster and bolt that on instead. You can do it without undoing the brake lines, just swing the master cylinder out of the way. Oh and be absolutely sure that the o-ring seal between the master cylinder and the booster is present and correct before proceeding. Without it you won't get much assistance.

If your pedal is sinking, bleeding might do very little, often the master cylinder is stuffed and they are not rebuildable. Normal bleeding procedures apply to your system if you've opened a line.

And, after looking at your picture again, my guess is that someone else has already removed the factory ABS and fitted a D1 booster. It's a bolt in fit. The pipes near the firewall look very untidy compared to stock.

Appreciate your contribution and knowledge on this forum.

I'll hunt out a D1 Brake booster and go from there.

There have been a number of non genuine changes under the bonnet.

I think the original (long time ) owner changed out those systems that became unreliable and expensive to maintain ... Air suspension ( now coils) and now ABS which I'm happy about.

I'm in the process ( when I get the time) to swap out the electric seats (non working) with same style manual seats which I've purchased.

All part of a long term plan as a tourer and my 2Dr as a Sunday driver .... Well that's the plan.
