At that speed why not pull handbrake on a couple of clicks? Don't know of a way of altering it unless you redesign the throttle pedal arrangement and maybe change the resistance as it is drive by wire.

Output bearing on gearbox or IRD. Depending on side. Hard to tell where noise is. It could be the prop CV joint as when on full lock maximum stress. This resonates down the prop and is hard to tell where it is coming from. Drop the front prop off would eliminate obvs.

ARB drop links when stressed on corner??

AF do a heavy duty drop link. More expensive but I have them on all my Freelanders and they certainly last. Thicker rod and bigger ball joint.

Just to help others, what did you do ??

Sorry Ali, never stripped an auto.

Good luck with the new buggy. I've always got a supply of Freelander 1's should you realise you've made a mistake 😉

Off to the wet grassy field is another option.

Would a power bleed exercise all the valves ? There are loads (12 in fact)!! I thought there would be 4 !

Wheel sensors all show same speed when driving so don't think it is wheel sensor. Wouldn't put brakes on. I'm suspecting the ECU for the ABS.

Thanks. I did see that but had hoped to find the ABS related symptom. As written there they appear to relate to loss of CANBUS. I have messaged a company that refurb Teves MK25 units and claim to know the codes and effects on the ABS. Watch this space! Thanks for the research.

Can't definitively identify the 2 fault codes above. ABS ECU is bolted onto the ABS Modulator and the block contains the solenoids for the valves too. 3 x Torx bolts hold it on and it looks like it can be changed in the vehicle without loss of fluid. On the TD4 the air intake hose will have to...

So, checked ABS fault codes and have C1154 and C1148. Haven't had a chance to check them out yet but could ABS have a fault that is putting brakes ON ?? Presumably it can. Is the ABS ECU part of the modulator ? Maybe electronics and not anything mechanical. That would certainly fit with the...

Yes will do. Needs a fluid change anyway. Just looked at the pedal, servo and master cylinder mechanical arrangement. The pedal and servo push rod connect all the way through. The master cylinder however does not connect to the servo push rod directly. Only by pressing. So the pedal and servo...

I thought that but because it is so infrequent and because discs get hot and drums do less braking and therefore less hot, I can't say if all 4 brakes are staying on intermittently or just fronts. Obvs if it happens again I will be doing more comprehensive checks. In my experience drums rarely...

OK. This is going to be impossible to diagnose logically as I did 400 miles yesterday with no fault. Did plenty of roadside checks and also rolling tests to see if the brakes were still off. So, please comment if you see a flaw in my argument but I am going to eliminate all possible causes...

Yes John. I serviced all the caliper mech and renewed one pin as it was a bit bent. All slides nicely. New calipers. The thing that is making me think it is not caliper related is that all is fine for several hundred miles, then one brake application seems to lock them partially on and brakes...

High resistance wire on the supply or ground side. Most likely a corroded terminal or part that contacts the bulb.
