It’s in. It works. (Music sounds bloody awesome!)

Hello everyone! Looking for some information and input really. As a spin off from - https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/unable-to-bleed-brakes.398398 I've recently learned about the Brake Bias Valve, also known by many names ("Brake...

Well been busy replacing front end entire running gear and recon wheels Replaced the following both sides front Track control arm and gaiter Track rod end Shock and top mount Spring Wishbone Ball joint Wheel bearing Steering knuckle Abs sensor...

Didnt need to check. Not never ever seen one in my life !! 😃

Yeah I was going to do this, but if this doesn't work I have a feeling I will have another spin off thread about custom Proportional Valves on this car too :mad: 😂 No biggie! Thank you for checking

Sorry, never even seen one !! As you have no ABS they are a bit special. Unlikely to be faulty but why not crack the pipes and bleed at that point then reconnect and bleed. See if they have an air lock. This whole saga is a mystery.

If you've abs then the pump needs to run to get the air out. Usually diag will do this.

Well, if nothing else, at least there’ll be something to keep us all busy at the meet up…

Good thinking, though I just installed new stainless steel Pioneer ones from Muddy Mods :(

Are the flexi hoses new? They can bulge causing soft brake.

@andyfreelandy I don't suppose you have any Proportioning Valves from the Freelander laying around? It could be the valves in there are failing and letting air move around? Honestly grasping at straws here 😂

No ABS module on mine, only part I have not really replaced / inspected is the Bias valve, I wonder if air could get trapped in there? I've tried to bleed it with both a pressure bleeder that I run at about 20 PSI constantly and using the foot...

Start by removing the screwdriver bit jammed under the hand brake adjuster nut.

Well here we are again! :mad: News is news, still thought I'd update here. My thought with the lack of pedal was seized caliper guide pins, which after taking off both calipers, 2 of 4 were incredibly seized and 1 mildly seized, the last one...

Manged to replace the front calipers in hopes that fixes the lack of brake pedal... 3 of 4 guide pins were seized but yet after removal clean and reassembly the brakes still super spongy... there'll be more explaining in my dedicated thread...

Only key fob left finally died... and I mean it died no battery replacement fixed it, I've been meaning to replace it for a while now... Only noticed when I unlocked the drivers door went to open the bonnet because its a land rover at heart and...

Well there's only one way to know which way around is better now... Line up on the start line...!

New vented, grooved discs fitted. Ceramic grease where needed. All brake dust cleaned out. Wheels cleaned too !! See how it goes. Was quiet on test drive. Need to bed them in for a few hundred miles.

It would be best for the optimal ignoring, however, I keep it there to ensure others are ignoring including myself! Doh!

MOT'd the G4. No advisories but the horn clock spring wire went open circuit on way to MOT so had to replace the clock spring. It passed OK then !!

Seems they want it facing the front of the car... beats me as to why, but I'd go with what they say, they manufacture them after all, not me 😂

Nice to be recognised for my hard work! Better get some sleep so I can continue ignoring...

From a completely unscientific, uneducated, uniformed, but ocd point of view, that looks like it should go on the off side to me. It would appear back to front on the near side I reckon.

So to clarify the disc in the picture (provided it is not flipped) I would fit to the offside.

Well aren't the slopes there for water displacement as well as heat dissipation? I would in that case follow the way car and motorcycle tyre tread considering they rotate in the same direction. So to the rear of the car would make sense to me...

Even my Freelander EV has ABS. :confused:

Battery tested. It's duff. Just gone to get a new one and tried to fit it. That's not gone so well. I have the old favourite of the clamp bolt not coming out due to the captive nut spinning. Chuffing thing :rolleyes:

I missed this thread start.. but.. no abs?? I thought all freelanders had abs!?

Indeed both me and the car are abs-less :mad: I'll be with it this weekend, along with checking the front caliper guide pins too so will check this and report back :)

I haven't checked them no, but they've been replaced with stainless steel ones from pioneer so I should imagine they are fine. The hand brake had been a little weird, it seems very... tight, when I drive with it off sometimes going over bumps...
