2003 Land Rover Discovery 2 HSE7 Brakes Dragging. Any ideas?
So this started with an 03 D2 that’d been sitting a while. I rebuilt the engine and then decided to address the brakes. The booster was bad so I decided to replace it and then I noticed that the master cylinder was leaking badly so I replaced it too. I then bled the brakes and discovered that my calipers were dragging and if you drove it enough they would seize to the point that the vehicle couldn’t even be moved. I just installed new calipers today and the brakes are still doing the same. Does anyone have any ideas before I roll this pos off a cliff because I’m losing my patience with it. PFA

 

Sure sounds like the brakes are being activated due a mis-adjusted rod inside the booster to the back of the M/C. If it's to tight it will apply braking pressure to the M/C without any input from the actual brake pedal. I've seen it happen on several LR's with repaired brake systems.

 

Yeah that's the general consensus I've heard from facebook. I've adjusted the rod 5 or 6 times and I'm struggling between it not engaging enough to it doing the current condition. I'll give it another shot I guess! Thanks for the suggestion.
