Brake pedal "Oddity"

I have recently noticed that if I brake the pedal has some resistance & slows the vehicle (As it should) ...But.... the pedal then "Moves" with a Click i.e. it goes further down by maybe 1/4 inch & I get much more "Braking Power"


Thoughts?????????????????????? ...... Got me stumped!!!!

What's odd about a proportional braking system? more pressure = more effect:doh:

Go and look at the rangerovers.net site, that click could well be the sign of impending total brake failure. Lots of reports about it in the USA

THANKS Datatec & Goonarmy for the heads up I've read thru all the info on Rangie,net & I'm pretty sure that IS NOT what I'm looking at here... the "Click" in "Internal" i.e. I can "Feel/hear" it INSIDE the cabin.

Its hard to explain ..... sorta like a "Miss" on a rachet.....think its time to get out the old Bathroom mirror & have a shuftie up behind them pedals!!!
