Hi there I have a problem with my freelander (R reg 1.8) a couple of months ago while manouvering to park brake pedal went down to floor, got out checked all wheels and under engine for brake fluid loss, couldnt find anything got back in car and brakes where fine. Just put it down to having big walking boots on and had pressed wrong pedal!! Any way driving home from work this morning and same thing happened again, put foot on brake pedal and no brakes had to drive home carefully using gears to slow down. When I got home checked all wheels, wheel cylinders, brake lines, servo, fluid reservoir and still no fluid loss. drove car again and brakes fine. Any ides guys? Think it may be servo/master cylinder but why no fluid loss? I have always had the hydraulic hissing noise behind dash on drivers side ever since I have had the car (10 years) the one that comes on when you start car and stops when you put your foot on the brake and have always assumed this is normal as its never give me any problems mot's servicing etc.
I have noticed recently that my drivers side rear brake is binding as sometimes its hot and smelly when I get out of car, have tried to take a look but cant get the brub srews out that hold the drum on ac they are all chewed up, any thoughts on getting these out would also be of great help and could this be causing me to have the intermittent brake failure. Thanks.
