Brake Master Cylinder problems of the 2000 Land Rover Discovery

Two problems related to brake master cylinder have been reported for the 2000 Land Rover Discovery. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Brake Master Cylinder problem

Failure Date: 09/09/2000

This is the second time that the abs and brakes have failed while trying to stop. Dealer has made 3 attempts to find/fix problem.

2 Brake Master Cylinder problem

Failure Date: 06/07/2000

The brakes in this vehicle do not work properly. They require excessive pedal depression before brakes engage and brake action is fine if brake pedal is pumped. The dealer has been unable to fix this problem, despite having replaced the master cylinder and other attempted repairs. I believe this is a hazard, as stopping distance is prolonged because of the problem. I've been unable to find someone locally who can test the braking distance, but would appreciate any suggestions you have about having this done.
