Land rover 110 rear brake disc WARPED AGAIN

[mendiplogs]

HI ALL ref land rover rear brake discs warpted again it was mintex fitted with new pads they last for 6000 miles you can feel the brake pedal move up and down on my last 110 they lasted a lot long whats wronge all the best jon somerset

Have you got a sticky caliper? Is it both sides?

The ones on my Discovery have been on there for 5 years, at least, with no problems.

Load proportioning valve seized ? I have same on rear of my disco 2 van few thousand miles pedal pulsing up and down but not coming through steering. I think genuine parts may be on order soon as the mintex stuff may not be as good noticed the discs rust quicker when parked up sort of points to quality of steel.

HI BOMAG calipers are all free and the old 110 they lasted years and we fitted mintex pad and discs and the caliper was free when fitted 6000 miles ago do i need new calipers and it was all fitted by mechanic jon somerset:thumbup:

HI STEVE where the load vale to mate we can see one jon

[armchairarborist]

it will be on top of the rear axle if there is one..

[mendiplogs]

HI acb thanks that mate i can not see a load vale jon

[armchairarborist]

then it doesnt have one, they are usually for soft jappy types anyway, landrovers dont need them.. sounds like a caliper at fault, but needs disks/pads at same time obviously, or put up with a lovely foot massage every time you brake..

you wont find one on a defender.

you carrying alot of weight all the time? that will prematurely wear the brakes. are you in very dirty conditions ?Imerys get abiout 2 weeks to a set of discs in the clay pits!!!They are usually about 2mm thick when they ahve finished with them!!! (silica everywhere)

First you need to establish if it is the rear brakes that are warped.

 

You need to clamp off the flexi pipe gently that runs from the body to the rear axle and try it again, this will make it so you are running on front brakes only and if the wobble goes then it is the rear and obviously if it doesn't it is the front discs.

 

I have never seen rear discs warp it is normally always the front because they bear the brunt of the braking effort. Normally caused by going down long descents on brakes alone without using engine braking

 

If it is your rear brakes then it could be something to do with your master cylinder which on defenders is responsible for distributing the braking force as they dont have load sensing valves

 

Are the brake discs "blued" or pads cracked and glazed as if they have been over heated etc etc, look for the tell tale signs
