Lewdan 17 Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Can any one help my freelander brakes dont seem to be working as they should, i have checked the back shoes and drums & they are ok, the problem is that when i brake hard, the front of the vehicle does,nt dip as you would normally expect with disc brakes i checked the pads and discs and they don,t look too bad , could it be that my servo is not working as it should, is there any way of testing it?? or is there any other any thing else that could cause this??

Geoff.C 0 Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Sit in the car and (engine off) pump the brake pedal until it goes hard, then keep it held down. In this state you have exhausted the servo vacuum. Still with your foot on the brake,start the engine,you should feel, almost instantly the pedal go down some more as the servo is evacuated again. If this does not happen, you probably have a servo problem of some sort. It could just be a perished pipe partic at the engine end where it can get oil soaked or blocked.
