Brake Behaviour

Why is it that everything starts to go wrong with a Landrover at the same time????

Anyway, work this out. Took the Disco for MOT last wekk and one of the fail items was a front brake imbalance. Simple enough, new caliper and hose (working in the trade has it's advantages :) )will cure the problem. So job done, back for retest and it's still got an imbalance on the rollers, the RH side seems to grab slightly before the LH side, when driving it pulls up nice and straight (so it passed that anyway).

Now when we changed the caliper, we had a problem bleeding the brakes (it is ABS equipped). You could push the pedal, but no fluid would come out of the caliper, unless the engine was running??? Very strange.

New hose is fine, no obstructions, new caliper which was only built 4 weeks ago according to the test sheet in the box for the high/low pressure test.

Any ideas as to what could be causing this problem? I am thinking possible master cylinder problem, or ABS block is faulty on the NS inner wing. If it's the ABS block would it be a huge problem to remove the ABS altogether? or shall i just remove the relay, all associated fuses and the bulb from the dash?

Cheers all.
