Chaps (and chapesses)

If i drive over sightly rough roads and brake the brake pedal really kicks. Is this normal?

The brakes pads/discs are fine and it does stop without a problem but the wobble in the pedal is a bit concerning. This only happens on bumpy surfaces, flat road are no problem at all.

This is my first 4*4 so it maybe perfectly normal but i thought i'd ask

by 'rough roads' do you mean gravel/dirt ? - if so it's probly just yer ABS activating & totally normal

lets say i am travelling down a potholed track, when i brake the pedal bounces along with the motion of the braking car if you get what i mean, it freaks me out a bit but the car still breaks, it just feels as if something is loose but as you say its probably normal. Certainly when it was last serviced at the main dealer they never mentioned any problems

have you driven a car with ABS before ?, if not the first time you feel it ,it can be a bit wierd - & it feels a bit worse on my disco than it used to on my old vectra - if it doesn't do it under normal road braking, it's just the abs - nothing to worry about

Thanks for the advice. I may just pop off to the local landy garage at some stage to let them have a look incase it is the beginning of something bigger. If it does turn up anything and i can find this thread again i will update accordingly
