Your Land Rover's brakes are its most important safety system. They are possibly its hardest working feature. Brakes are not only responsible for stopping the car in an emergency. They communicate with the steering system, engine, four-wheel-drive system and the anti-lock braking system and create traction and stability control. This is of crucial importance on rainy days, when off-road or when you would very much like to stay on the road but might be in inclement weather.
This system is based on the operation of two features: the brakes themselves, the metallic discs inside each wheel at each corner, and the hydraulic fluid which pressurizes them. The brakes themselves are considered a wear item because they use friction to stop your vehicle and keep you safe. They are worn down over time. The hydraulic fluid that pressurizes the system will take on water over time. It is hygroscopic, and can become contaminated. Your braking performance will suffer if your brake fluid becomes contaminated.
It's important to monitor the condition of this system when you service your vehicle. Your brakes should be checked on a regular basis by our Land Rover Certified technicians. Our staff is trained, by Land Rover, to make assessments, diagnose and fix any issues you could have.
