Hi all,
We were wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem: We took our Prado 150 GXL stock standard, to ARB to have some goodies fitted, among these was some OME suspension. During the day, ARB rang me to say that they had taken the car out for a post suspension test drive and the mechanic's face had turned pale when he went to apply the brakes, but the pedal sunk to the floor and he realised the brakes had failed. I asked how he had stopped the vehicle, and was told he had to use the handbrake... I was then told to rectify the situation, they had put the vehicle onto "one of their machines" and they "activated" the ABS, and the car now appeared to be braking fine. They advised me to take it to Toyota to have the vehicle checked, which we have not done yet but plan to shortly. We have not had any problems with the brakes prior to this. Can any of you explain what the problem could be and/or has anyone experienced this before.
Thanks, Rod.
