Brake failure
Hi
To times - once in may, and once today the brakes on my defender did not work? When I was doing about 60 kmh I stepped on the brakes and the pedal acted like the engine was turned off! When trying several times (really fast Shocked ) the brakes suddenly acted normal again. As mentioned it has happened 2 times . I have no idea about what it could be - seems unlikely that the vacuum pump is broken as everything works perfectly again - any ideas ? By the way my defender is without ABS.

Regards

Not sure, but check on the vacuum hose to the brake servo. Puma 110" SW

had a similar issue on my 300tdi - check the caliper pistons are OK and not sticking, especially the rear ones, you may also find that one of the rear pads is less worn than the rest, eg where the piston is sticking BM52
