Still under warranty until august, and only done 25K miles? I'd be kicking up a fuss - a rather big one - trading standards at the very least....YMMV.
Brake issue or what?

It was just a thought @Disco1BFG seen as some have probs getting brakes set up after a rebuild !
Right then... So it appears the LR dealer might need a kick up their posterior ( maybe )
@NSSlim - do you fancy going back to the dealer and asking/telling them what to check ???

its common now especially if you fit a new m/c or servo,under adjusted pedal is very low ,over brakes pull on you can release them by pulling on the vac feed to release the vac

I once over adjusted a front brake leaver on my xs1100 5mls down the road thought the motor had seized up as it was getting slower !
had to wait 1/2 hr for front discs to cool down ! rode home on back break only
had to wait 1/2 hr for front discs to cool down ! rode home on back break onlyI had assumed (!!) that the dealer (!!!!!!!) knows what they are doing
- I suspect I was wrong, very very wrong . I don't care how much welding I have to do - I am never buying a new car - if they can't fix something "simple" ( and "quite" important ) then they won't be getting any of my money. IMHO, OP:- take Mr Martins wise words with you back to the dealer, and get them to sort this out !!

Cheers, I replied having had a similar situation but not, I hasten to add, on all four discs mind. I've never heard of brakes pulling on like that, just due to the vacuum and being wrongly adjusted!
Being wrong at least means I've learnt summat as well ..

New idea from main dealer is that it's the Pedal Box? What do you think?

I will post the report when I get a copy and will enjoy your thoughts? I have sent the Service Manager your thoughts to date...
There's an old saying - "If you want it doing, do it yourself".....
Good lucks with, I've a feeling you might need it!
Had a new RR every year until the dealership turned into a bunch of numpties - now we run 20 year old D1's which don't break .......
Rot??? oh yes, they do that, but they don't break
