What a pair of arrogant &*^%$'s you 2 (fanatic and jedi) are! This motor has had the complete brake system overhauled in last 3 months and I mean EVERYTHING bar the 2 abs rings - so stop trying to be smart ars*'s - if you cant offer a solution then keep your fingers off the keyboard or get...

Hi all. TD4 - after the saga of this nightmare motor I left it for 8 weeks. Took it for drive today (situation is 2 diagonally opposed abs rings are not reading and after 20 yds the osf front wheel will lock on). So took another members advice and remove the fuse (no7) - 3 amigos came on...

Hi. As stated even the modulator has been changed. The flexis and hard pipes are all fine under pressure.

To recap - initial prob was spongy brakes (ATE Mk20 ABS system) Remedy: fit new discs / pads - no bleed Result: pedal goes to floor when running - hard when off Remedy: 2 x new front callipers, vacuum bleed Problem: rear w/cyl nipples rusted in Remedy: replace cylinder/mechanism & shoes, vacuum...

Recap - initially car braking fine just pedal little bit soggy - pads/discs change - nipples were rotten so pushed pistons in slowly. Thereafter all the probs occurred. My main concern is - a servo has direct link to m/cyl via push rod - whether or not there is vacumm there is a pedal movement...

Yes - used Rave sequence. Tomorrow will get some assist and start clamping off individual wheels.

Brakes were again bled manually, in correct sequence - no difference. All 4 sensors were checked for resistance and with the Hawkeye when moving - testing just confirmed that 3 were faulty and 1 was good with 1.35ohms. Pedal hard when engine off and air removed from servo - yes goes to floor...

OK. Makes sense. However.....for last hour we've been driving up and down the lane - engine off - pump air out of servo=solid pedal - OK. Start engine - foot on pedal light force drops to floor! let it up drive hit brake (sort or hard) takes tremendous force almost as if no servo there and...

Appreciate the replys folks - does not seem to be too much input though! Ref last reply - trying to get my head around comment that: whilst running pedal will sink to floor - why/how does this happen? where does the fluid go? which should be under pressure at all times when pedal pressed upon...

Never ever had a prob with vac bleeder or pressure bleeder - only prob with pressure bleeder is if they spring a leak you get luvelly brake fluid everywhere.

Hi - does not sound silly - has worked on many an occassion - however we use a vac bleeder on all our vehicles, never had a problem with it. This time we ran close to 250ml through each corner with full vac, so should be ok. The fact the vehicle is exactly the same as it was the 1st time the...

No brakes - lets refresh story: 2000 model Mk1 FL TD4 ABS manual. Initial fault: worn discs & soggy pedal - car driving perfect otherwise. Cure - New front pads & discs - wind back pistons slowly - then NO brakes - pedal to the floor! no leaks anywhere Next - bleed them - no difference. Next - 2...

No fluid in servo - so assume no leaks - stumped!

Well 2 x new front callipers arrived today, fitted and brakes bled all around - 3/4 litre through them (vac bleeder) to really clean pipes out. Only dram is rear bleed nipples are virtually touching the brake cylinder - real p1g to get into and move open them. No change - pedal straight to floor...

Can fault codes be manualy flashed on Freelander TD4 mk1??? No surprise none of my code readers work! NO abs & tc lights on dash on friends 2001 model (manual) he recently bought and MOT due very soon. Fitted replacement dash today and all lights working but 3-Amigos shining brightly!!! looks...
