Land Rover Braking

The brake system relies on hydraulic brake fluid to transfer energy generated by the master cylinder pump through brake lines and into the calipers where the brake pads are clamped powerfully against the rotors. The powerful clamping action that creates resistance sufficient to stop a vehicle is delivered by the energy passing through the hydraulic brake fluid every time you push the brake pedal.

Brake Fluid 101

Brake fluid needs to stay in excellent condition to support the brake system’s reliable performance and to protect passengers’ safety. Because brake fluid notoriously contaminates with water when exposed and will leak due to worn components, it is a Land Rover and industry best practice to inspect the brake fluid and exchange it as needed when it loses integrity, leaks, or you begin experiencing any of the warning signs of defective braking.
