Having some problems with my RRS the thing cut out with the wife no power and she couldn't get it started again she said the dash just light up like a Christmas tree then just stopped then when she tried to start again nothing.

So went to her rescue disconnected the neg battery cable for 5, re connected it and it came back to life.

Yes the battery clamps were all tight before I removed it.

Called the local specialist he says bring it up and we will run a diagnostic check ok I will.
Turns out the only fault is the Brake switch seems to be a common thing?

Anyway so gets this changed the next day and go to pick the car up now they tell me after they took it for a test drive that all 4 brakes are sticking on that the brake servo and mastered cylinder needs replacing!!!!

Has anyone had a similar problem? Just wondered what else might cause the brakes to stick on?

I drove it home 15 miles without the brakes sticking.

Just to update, it was the brake peddle switch that caused the problem.

It was changed at the local garage but they hadn't installed it correctly.

I took it out and refitted it and no further problems with the brakes.

Was the "local garage" also the local specialist as my confidence in the "specialist" would have been somewhat dented after an episode like that? I also have a 22year old Defender 90 and my "local" specialist was really good up to the time I wanted the tailgate/ rear door replaced and they were determined that all I needed was a recycled panel from one of their scrap yard cars. I am in the fortunate position to be able to afford a new one, sprayed the right colour and with all new fittings as I felt that buying used would probably land me back in the same position a couple of years down the line. The original parts had had 21 years of heavy duty use so I wasn't worried about replacing them with new. I changed to another specialist (Lix Toll Land Rover) who is a long drive away but who do what I ask them to do without trying to get me to use parts stripped off an older car....... and they are less costly into the bargain! Lix Toll also suggested some further modifications to the new door to increase the longevity of the new door - swing away spare wheel carrier takes the weight off the door hinges! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
