When taking right hand bends slightly faster than normal (not a lot though) I get the feeling that that the front left wheel brake is being applied or the wheel is locking up. Its progressively getting worse. Initially it only did it when aggresively cornering but now its happening under less and less force. Has anyone experienced this or know what it could be? 2007 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE- Cairns Blue with 22" Stormers |

Are you sure its not the ABS kicking in because your going to fast, check your tyres, does it do on full lock, just on a right hand bend.?

as above, but also get the wheel alignment checked or the steering wheel recalibrated as it could be either of those as well. Bodsys Brake Bible

Its not on full lock nor actually going that fast (except when the misses is driving ). i'll check tyre pressures tonight and check brakes. Tracking is pulling a little to the left so will get that done too.

Cleaned all the brakes out and cleaned the ABS sensor which seemed to solve the problem but my wife has informed me that's its still doing it!! 2007 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE- Cairns Blue with 22" Stormers |

have you had the steering calibrated and the wheel alignment done? Thats the most usual cause (other then low tyre pressure) Bodsys Brake Bible

How does the steering get calibrated? Or is it part of the wheel alignment? 2007 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE- Cairns Blue with 22" Stormers |

I thought this problem had gone away following fitment of new brake pads when it went in for MOT but it seems not as it's now come back. It's quite unnerving when it happens! 2007 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE- Cairns Blue with 22" Stormers |
