Default 1999 Range Rover Brake Problems

Hey guys,

I have all three lights on my console, abs, tc, and brake light. I have replaced pads and bleed system step by step according to the manual, but lights are still on. I also replaced the accumulator and 90% of the time she stops on a dime. Occassionally it requires more force than neccessary. Should I try to rebleed everything again or am I missing something?

Thanks,
Michael

Check relays 5 and 7 as they provide power to the motor that recharges the braking system.

It could also be hydraulic failure in the brake modulator but i'd check the relays first.

Regards

There is also an issue with a small plastic washer/ seal in the modulator breaking up.
A guy in Australia is making replacement kits from aluminium for around $100 US.
If you are still having issues I can post you a link.

Chris.

It could be a few things.. make sure the radio is off and its quiet in the cabin and press the brake 2 or three things.. If you hear a humming or something that sounds like a motor running thats the abs acuumulator... If not it could be the abs pump.. But also Im curious how did you bleed the system.. There is a very special procedure for bleeding range rovers especially when the pump or accumulator has been replaced.. please tell me how you did it
