    Scary brakes

    I have a 1996 Disco 300TDi. About two months ago I had both swivels, CV joints discs pads and wheel bearings all replaced. At the same time new rear calipers and pads were fitted. The brakes had been weak for a while, just passing the MOT test so I removed the front prop shaft so my mate could...

    Series 3 Brake Problem

    I have a 1984 Series 3 which used to be a fire engine. It has 3" wide drums at the front, presumably because of the extra weight of a water tank. It has given me no end of grief in the past setting the brakes up, and I have all fitted new wheel cylinders, new flexis and a new master cylinder...

    Freelander beeps on braking

    My 2003 BMW diesel Freelander TD4 GS with 165K started beeping whenever I applied the brakes on one journey only - it has stopped now and gone back to normal but I was getting regular quiet beeps from the dash board / front area every time I pressed the brakes. If I pressed them for long enough...

    Series III 1976 109 Trick Cab won't roll easy

    Calling for some leaf spring wisdom. I just purchased a 1976 Land Rover Santana Series III 109 Truck cab. It came from the Canary islands. Starts and runs great, but doesn't want to roll easy. I have looked at the forums and it appears my likely causes are collapsed flexi hoses, master...

    Brake backplates fitted on wrong side?

    Hi people! Despite having my 11A for some years now, I have never really managed to get the front brakes to work properly (new shoes, cylinders etc.) It has only now occured to me that, as far as I can recall, the leading shoes are fitted to the rearmost side of the backplate - ie; when looking...

    Brakes pulling to side. Advice please.

    Well, the transmission brake was sorted out and oil contamination of the rear off-side drum was cured with a new axle oil seal. However, under heavy breaking my 109 SIII is still pulling to the left, quite alarmingly. Do any of you good people have any suggestions about the possible cause as...

    Dsco pulling right under braking

    I know this is not a new thread but I can't find anything under the disco forum so I'm adding one. I have a 1995 Discovery which started life as a V8i but now has an Isuzu Trooper 2.8 TD engine installed. Over the last few weeks it has developed a pull to the right under braking. This is more...

    Series 3 braking issue

    My Series 3 109SW has started pulling to the left under heavy braking and I can see evidence of oil on the bottom of the rear off-side drum, so my immediate suspicion is oil contamination in the drum. First of all, where is this oil likely to be coming from? (The braking system was completely...
