Brake problem

Hi
Anyone had a similar issue with a TDV8 3.6 2010my. When I brake at relatively low speeds under 35mph the brakes do seem to respond. I find myself having to stand on the brakes to get them to respond. I’m thinking brake servo/booster related ??

Cheers

My brakes always seem very good both a low and higher speeds. They give full confidence to know they are capable of stopping 2.5 tonnes properly. Nice and steadily - progressive as you increase the pressure on the pedal. I would certainly be looking a the servo (perhaps a leaky hose???) but perhaps a trip to a local good indie would avoid you buying one bit after another until you find the problem. Robin

Isn’t there a thing about oil in the brake reservoir, perhaps something to quickly have a peek. 2006 2.7 TDV6 HSE in Cairns Blue.

Could well be a seized caliper, especially a rear one. Be worth asking your usual indie LR garage to have a look. The problem with seized calipers is that if it's the one that has the brake wear sensor on it, the first you know there's a wear problem is when the other corner starts making expensive noises. Ask me how I know... 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
