Some Defender 90 TD5 2001 has done 56,000 and thy not happy with its brake power on the rear axle. During testing, the rear axle was poor so could change the brake fluid and pads but it made no difference the 56,000 mile rear disc pads looked new. Is there a pressure reducing valve with a different ratio to modify the braking balance?
There are many different pressure reducing valve out there but you have to bear in mind that Land Rover spent a great deal of time and money ensuring that the brake distribution on the do to change this may well make the vehicle unsafe. The fact the rear brakes are working correctly if they were not, then the rear discs would have a lot of corrosion on them. The rear brakes are designed to have very little power going to them unless you are either going to them unless you are either towing or braking very hard. Many owners will brake heavily once ever week or two just to ensure the rear disc keep clean because normal braking does not do this.
