Sim,

You'll need to bleed the ABS block in the engine bay. I can let you have the process but I'd have to look it up and post it and bit rushed... SWMBO on way home and loads to do!  :oops:  :smack:

I'll post later!

Mine are rock hard, they hardly move.  The RRC abs is like power brakes, different from the Disco system.

Anyway, check that none of your callipers are seized.  Do the brakes let off at all? if so take it for a short run and check their performance, under the latest advice this is all the MOT tester can do (Don't let him put it on a rolling road).

You may just be the best bleeder in town

there is brakes but they are not enough to stop you in an emergency.  if this is how the brakes of an abs rrc is then i dont like them

[bezzabsa]

mine has very little pedal travel, but can put you through the windscreen!!!!!

[simdeb]

only small movment but would not give you skid

Clearly there is some other kind of problem. As other posters have said this RRC brake system has very little pedal movement for very solid braking.

I'd suggest getting it looked at by your local Land Rover specialist (Don't trust the Kwik or Fast folks!)

Good luck and sorry I can't help any further.
