I recently replaced the Master cylinder along with a new brake hose on the left front caliper. Today I went driving around and suddenly the truck started to slow and the more gas I applied the slower it went. I pulled off and got out to look under the hood and saw the left front wheel steaming (it was raining). I put my hand near the rotor and could tell it was very hot and the rotor had turned blue from heat. I looked over at the right front wheel same thing. Rear wheels were warm but not hot.
Thinking it was the ABS acting up I disconnected the 5A fuse from the fuse block and everything was fine with the brakes.
I just went out again and after about ten minutes driving same thing the front brakes locked up again. The fuse was still out of the ABS circuit. I turned off the engine and left it set for a minute and again the brakes were back to normal.

Any ideas? I'm stumped at the moment.

 

You did not use a Land Rover master cylinder.
You must, this happens each and everytime, I have no idea why.
You want to remove the ABS PUMP fuse from under the hood not the one under the dash.

 

Hey, Happy New Years Phil....

 

Thank's Doug, Happy New Year to you to my friend.

 

You may be right. I got to thinking about it and the M/C did not seem to sit flush against the booster. I'll check tomorrow could be just enough out of alignment to cause binding of the booster.

 

Let us know if you get it sorted out.
I have been looking for the cure for the non LR master cylinder for some time now.

 

One to Round Two of Brake seizing:

I pulled all the fuses (3?) related to the ABS, re-aligned the master cylinder in relation to the booster shaft. Everything seem good. Took it for a drive on the highway - locked up again. I pulled off, turned off the ignition and started to tap on the M/C, Secondary and ABS module. Suddenly I heard a "CLICK" somewhere and checked the brakes and they are back to normal. So I head home and about five miles later, brakes are binding again. Pulled off, opened the hood, starting whanging again no luck. Turned off the ignition and a moment later "CLICK!" back to normal.

What is the clicking? Does the secondary cylinder have a solenoid? Or is it the ABS again?
