not unheard of now if servo rod is adjusted too long,the brakes gradually apply,until you release servo vac
Was starting to wounder if it was master cylinder not pulling back as it should. Abs would keep on all the time? Freewheeling is no problem which is the annoying thing. The car shakes after a while but this is the same time the discs get hot but brand new discs and pads new hoses and new Pistons in calipers
How would I go about doing that please very new to it all

pipe isnt the problem pulling it away just releases the vac, it fits in a rubber grommet/seal in servo so breaking the seal releases the vac

I had a bit of this problem when the garage change my brake pipes because I could not do it because at that time I had a new knee and could not do it they had filled the brake fluid right up to the top of the master cylinder I took some out and the problem which was a sticking caliper , at first I noticed my brakes seemed very hard and I though there was a problem with the vacuum pipes but no this was the problem .
I went back and told them about it they said the apprentice had filled it so I pointed out to him that there are 2 marks on the master cylinder and they are there for a reason do not go over the top one.

it relieves pressure on brakes if servo is pulling brakes on due to a too long a servo rod ,if it does nothing it proves that isnt the issue

If it does solve the problem, then you might be able to adjust the rod slightly as some are threaded. Some aren't however, in which case a replacement servo may be needed.

Ok, just done a quick test. In the works transit tipper. Yes I know it's not a freelander!
Brakes cool. Been stood for about 30 minutes. Driven 2 miles a low speed. Stopped, got out and gobbed on the brakes!!! And it fizzled like a mad fizzley thing. (things I do for this forum!) Are you sure your not getting a bit hung up on this?

Well today been to LR specialist and cause of the juddering wanted to make sure was not the vcu so have taken prop off. And juddering still there. Abs as been disabled to see if that was apply on its own. Yet again no Change juddering and heat. Heat does not bother me if they did not get to the point where They expand and it's causing the car to judder it's starting to get me so pigged off with it that I don't know what to do next. Had a mate follow me I'm a facelift freelander same as mine stone cold discs and stopped same place same distance traveled and his was half the heat as mine
Got a quick question pre 2001 caliper carrier had same size slide pins in top and bottom is that correct?
2002-2006 had the long and small one with rubber on. What the chance someone has has been given wrong caliper carriers and they are pre 01 with 02-06 slide pins in. Would not work the same??
