I have found an "interesting" problem with my XJ. After giving it a bit of love (read: a wash
) or when it has been sitting for a little while after driving in the wet, the brakes (both front and rear) will grab very aggressively when I initially apply them the first couple of times. The bang for the rear was unbelievable, and I literally crapped myself the first time it happened.
Once the brakes have dried out - usually within a couple of hundred metres, they are fine. This problem never happens in the dry and haven't done any water crossings yet to test them out in that situation.
I am suspecting that the ABS has crapped itself.
Edit: Google is my friend....It looks like I might have el-crappo pads and shoes, so Ill invest in some decent ones and see how it goes.
