    Brakes

    Hope some one can help, daughter is in the process of buying a 98 XeDi Freelander. I took it for a drive today and I though the brake pedal was a bit hard considering it has ABS. As I have a 2004 Disco with ABS and I use less force even when towing my caravan. So should the pedal be hard or soft.

    Thanks in Advance
    Geoff.

    pump the brakes a few times with the engine stopped and hold them, start the engine if the pedal doesnt sink you have either a shot booster or no vac getting to the booster.

    Should feel like any other car with disk/drum brakes - neither hard nor soft - but just right. i am not sure that ABS`has anything to do with it.

    Daughter just came home from work, I checked the pedal by pumping until it was very hard and then started engine and the pedal did not move. Will check more tomorrow.

    Thanks
