Thread: D4 fuel consumption seems excessive

I do have a spare brake switch, thanks for reminding me:-)

Yes, there was also a bit a wobble back through the steering wheel while on the freeway (but didn't notice round town). The other symptom was that there was very little brake pedal travel.. and I eventually discovered that if I hooked my foot under pedal and raised it the brakes would come off temporarily

Anyway, good luck and hope they can find the cause on yours!

Funny you should mention that Geoff, I've been noticing lately a bit of steering wheel vibration when under brakes at highway speeds - particularly on Forrest Highway yesterday when driving back from Perth. It's not something noticeable at town speeds though - and haven't noticed any decrease in brake pedal travel. I'll get them to check everything at Land Rover in Bunbury tomorrow.
