Hi
I have had my 1984 110 Landrover for approx 8 years and always seemed to have problems with binding brakes! Just recently it has been bad but not on individual wheels but the whole system and seems to be linked to the pedal or servo unit, the strange thing is that I have tested on a run without even touching the brakes and knowing that they was fine before setting out, after about 15 minutes they start to bind (badly) and the pedal becomes tight and to the top of it's travel, it almost seems that the servo has malfuntioned some way, as after stopping and turning off the engine for a while the brakes return to their normal self. Is it possible for the servo to maybe do this on it's own if the valve is faulty letting air travel both ways. I did notice when trying to replicate this problem with the pedal whilst being standstill there was an abnormal air sound from the pedal whilst operating in it's malfunctioning mode. When driving when the pedal is tight and the brakes binding trying to stop is harder than should be!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
