Hello
Just a couple of questions for the experts of Discoweb. When I brake, my antilock cuts in. But I am on the paved road. Its really annoying, and not to mention dangerous. I think that its my speed sensor. Is there a way that I can turn the ABS off. Also, whats the best way to stop the brakes from sqeaking, they are not worn very much.
THANKS in advance

I was told by a Lexus tech. once that with the new composite (non asbsetos) brake pads, you can drive your rig in reverse for about a block or so, with your foot on the brake. He said it scuffs the pads and helps reduce the anoying squeak. It worked on my ES, but I never tried it on my disco. Of course there is always brake cleaner. |

I just replaced my speed sensor about two weeks ago. I was having the same problem with my brakes. The most important indication it is a speed sensor is when the vehicle cuts out for breif intervals above 50MPH. By the way, I do have a bad abs sensor also. ABS light is on all the time, but I haven't had the brake problem since I replaced my speed sensor. Good Luck.

Bryan, 
Sean, are the brakes original? You can try some anti-squeal grease on the back of the pads. Is this a D1 or D2? |

It is a d1.
Also yes the truck cuts out at around 50 mph. Not all the time but every now and again. So thats the speed sensor also? How much is a speed sensor? And can I buy a After market part anywhere for a cheaper price. Yes the pads are all LDR.
Thanks again |

I just replaced my speed sensor a couple weeks ago. Got it from DAP for $65. Nathan sells the ABS sensors (you'll probably need one of those too) for $200. |

Try reseating your abs sensors before you spend money on a new one. They tend to work themselves loose on the D1. |

DAP, along with most other relevant vendors, are listed in the resource section of this site.

Another question.
My antilock brakes cut in when I am stopping on paved roads. Now I was told that this was the speed sensor. But also when I get up to 60 MPH the disco revs weird, cuts out and in. Now there is a speed sensor for the back brakes and one for the front brakes. And there is one for the transmission. I can get the one for the transmission at DAP for 61.50. If I replace this one on the transmission is there a good chance that its gonna fix the ABS cutting in? Or do I need to replace the two sensors on the brakes?
Any input would help me, I really need.
Thanks

Sean, there is a chance, in fact it is most likely the speed sensor will fix both problems. The sensors at the wheels are refered to ABS sensors I'm told. In my case, as I stated above, I also have a bad ABS sensor (driver front). I probably goofed it up myself trying to reseat it. I found out the sensor was bad by checking the resitance of the sensor. (unplugged the plug for the sensor under the hood and put a meter across the two terminals. the one with no continuity is the one that is bad {again, this is to my understanding})Anyway, the stuttering above 50MPH is definately fixed with a new speed sensor. Good luck.
