i hope i can describe the problem correctly:doh:

on my 04 disco td5 auto sometimes when i press the brakes the pedal appears to be hard and the motor is slow to stop no matter how hard i press the pedal it will not stop the disco. if i lift off the pedal quickly and repress the brakes everything is ok? this only happens sometimes, more so when the brakes have been used a few times, and when heavy braking with the trailer on, again not all the time:confused::confused::confused::confused:

i have replaced all the pads, checked the pistons all move in the calipers, bleed the system but the problem is still here.

what else can i check?

many thanks ivan
 
what pads did you use?

Have you checked the master cyclinder and vaccum supply to it?

Stick on on a nanocom and get a read out form the slabs ecu. Let us know whcih part fo the o****ry your in sure someone near by will have one.

Have you removed or has someone else the egr and not do the vaccum pipes ciorrectly?

brake pads mintex

checked the m/c and servo seem ok

i removed the egr will check that i have connected the vacumn pipes correctly:doh:

many thanks
 
sounds like an abs fault?
again getting the ecu read would be a good idea.
if it were mine i would not be driving it till i had it checked out properly

Sounds like a classic case of no vac assistance, I would DOUBLE check the EGR blanking, if in doubt refit ALL the EGR pipes (except one to valve) and see if it happens again, my guess is it wont.

http://www.td5alive.com/docs/EGR bypass kit.pdf to see details.

many thanks everyone all sorted:D:D:D:D:D

checked all the vac pipes and found one split. it was one of the small pipes, as i had removed the EGR i followed the TD5 link and aslo removed the wiring connectors

took the disco out for a test drive OMG what a differents to the brakes, tested them until they where hot but was still able to stop yessssssssssssssssssss:D:D:D
