Workshop maintenance 141 BRAKE PAD, DISC AND CALIPER CHECK If the vehicle is being operated in arduous conditions, especially when deep mud and/or wading situations are regularly encountered, the condition of the brake pads, discs and calipers should be checked at least weekly, if not even more frequently. Hydraulic disc brakes are fitted to the front and rear wheels, they are self adjusting and therefore, no provision for manual adjustment is made. ·Check the thickness of the brake pads, which should not be less than 3mm (0.125 in). ·Check for uneven brake pad wear. ·Check for oil contamination on the brake discs and pads. ·Check condition of the brake discs for wear and/or corrosion. ·Check the brake calipers for any leaking brake fluid. If necessary, any replacement or rectification of discs, brakes or calipers, should be carried out by a Land Rover dealer.
Workshop maintenance 142 HANDBRAKE CHECK/ADJUSTMENT WARNING For safety, DO NOT work underneath the vehicle unless it is safely parked with the wheels chocked, or is supported by heavy duty stands. Ensure the vehicle is parked on firm, level ground and chock the wheels. If the parking brake movement is excessive, adjust as follows: ·Raise one rear wheel clear of the ground and ensure it is supported securely with an axle stand. ·Release the handbrake. ·Tighten the adjusting bolt (3) until brake drum will not rotate (by hand). ·Further tighten the adjusting bolt to a torque of 25 Nm (18 lbf/ft) to ensure that the brake drum is locked - if this is not the case, consult a Land Rover dealer. ·Finally, slacken the adjusting bolt by turning it 1.5 turns anti-clockwise. The brake drum should now be free to rotate, and the brakes shoes correctly adjusted. PROPELLER SHAFT LUBRICATION ·Clean all the grease nipples on the front and rear propshaft universal joints (1).
