Reply With QuotePossibles: one of your caliper pistons was sticky and required force to retract it. May unbalance the braking. Also did you bed the pads in, 3 or 4 stops from 60km/h without cooking them? If your discs were a bit worn this is important.
We have a disco 1 and have recently replaced the brake pads on the front. Now, when braking, the car veers to the right. There appears to be no fluid leaking anywhere, the pads and all surrounding are dry. Everything looks to be in place. Can anyone shed some light on this please. Is there any point in bleeding the brakes?

SubscriberGet some help with the wheels off the ground. Have someone spin the wheels in turn, and try them for resistance under very light pressure. Could point to a sticky piston. You may have to remove the caliper, and watch the pistons. Make sure you have a block or similar in between though. You don't want the pistons to come out too far or pop right out.

have a good look at the old pads if you have them and the surface of the disc, if the caliper is not squeezing evenly you will tell from the disc/padwear, one pad will not be as worn and/or the disc my not be as shiny on on side

have you tired to re-bleed your brakes to make sure you dont have air in the lines.
Our Land Rover does not leak oil! it just marks its territory.......
