Thread: BRAKES NEED ATTENTION

Is this happening at slow or high speeds? My guess is that you have ABS? If so it is likely that at least 1 of your wheel sensors is out of adjustment OR failed/ failing. More than likely a front one.

A common issue with these vehicles at this point in their life.

It happens under about 60 km and like i said some times when i am turning into my drive way and some times going straight,allways at a low speed.Thanks for any help given Dave

Well thgen I am almost 100% certain it is an ABS issue. (You didn't mention whether you have ABS (Anti-lock) fitted?)
If so, get it checked/ rectified ASAP as when it gets worse you may not be able to stop AT ALL. The pedal just keeps vibrating and you just keep heading toward the back of that BMW 750iL, or Lexus LS430

Thanks JC I will get them checked.I am a newbe to Landys and now i have one why diddent i have one before. Dave

Dave, make sure you get it to a LR specialist who knows these systems, PM Psimpson7 here on AULRO as he can help direct you to a specialist to trust.

Thanks JC I am not real good with the computer and am not to sure about AULRO, i would like to get in touch with someone about the brakes.I live in Ormeau QLD and if you could direct me to a brake person i would be happy for any help you can provide.Thanks again Dave

Give Ricks 4wd a call, should be in the yellow pages etc but if you cannot find his number I will post it up for you. Rick is at Nerang and specializes in Land Rovers. Other option is the LR dealer in Southport.

Dave, I've sent Psimpson7 a PM, he lives around that neck of the woods and should be able to give you a local contact that is trustworthy. He should get in touch with you via PM when he gets mine His name is Pete and he is a good bloke. (For a Defender owner...)
