Empower your mechanic, even if that's you! You have found the ultimate tools -- the facts: The Range Rover ABS brake information the repair manuals left out. You've landed here because the tests and techniques for this system are like no other; because mistakes are expensive; because it's time to get the problem solved: we have a truly fun new guidebook for Rover owners and Rover shops!
WHY IS EVERYBODY GUESSING? They think my pump maybe might be bad – is it bad or is it good?! What does this "brake pump" really do? Do I have a relay problem? Which one? How do I test the pressure switch? Where is the pressure switch? How do you bleed Range Rover or Jaguar brakes? Really?? What happens if my accumulator is bad? What is 'traction control'? My mechanic says I need a new master cylinder, and it's expensive! – can I prove he's right – or wrong? Where’s the master cylinder anyhow?? What is ABS? Why do I need all these parts??!?
First explaining how brakes really work, and why, is the key. Background discussions of the evolution of brakes, to what anti-lock-braking (ABS) itself does, and the real world problems they seek to solve, are used to put Range Rover's system in perfect perspective leaving even the novice reader content with a clear comprehension of how the brakes work.
Plain, clear language useful to the owner and the repair technician alike, it enables driver's-seat recognition and diagnostics of most brake system and ABS faults, present and impending, by explaining the whole system and making it really simple. Range Rover ABS fault codes very rarely point to the problems, and the trouble codes will clear once the repair is made: there is no need for diagnostic computers or scanners 99% of the time.
Covers all brake systems fitted to all of Land Rover’s Range Rovers from 1990 through 2002. (Also similar to Jaguar TEVES / WABCO systems found on Jaguar XJS, 1990 to 1995) Contains all Range Rover brake system information and supplemental instruction needed to make any repair manual make any sense. Written by a professional Rover Technician and writer, an unusually fun and comprehensive system view is painted to eliminate intimidation.
Includes warning lights, do-it-yourself tests, symptoms and what they indicate, all brake bleed procedures, and all typical faults. Terminology, component locations, and purpose are all explained, including the pump, booster unit (‘actuator;’ ‘modulator’), pressure switch, ABS relay, and accumulator.
Even Land Rover dealership mechanics use this book, written for the individual mechanic, the independent garage, and especially the Rover owner. But all seem to actually enjoy reading about Range Rover brakes, when made simple in Getting Comfortable with WABCO ABS brakes, Range Rover 1990 to 2002, when delving into Rover hydraulic problems. No special tools required!
