on a p38a rangerover m reg
problem sounds like a coffee granulator
stays running for 20mile drive abs and brake light stays on
then both go off when pump stops use brakes and the pump starts whirling again
finnal breaks go incredible soft and wont stop car !
solution?
new pump / new accumulator ?
to leak but could if not fixed soon.
no leaks yet but the pump did get very warm after a long run , but if the accumulator is knackered could be the pump is just having to work extra hard ?

sounds like pump to me. Accumulator may or may not be suspect, but shouldn't make the pump sound naff. I assume it's not short of fluid?
plenty of fluid ! and not loosing any either ! pump started to run longer after I had to replace some burst lines ! thinking about it , it doesnt actually sound much worse than when I first got it ,it just runs longer so is more noticable ! been offered one from breakers at £200 but for a part thats only a year younger than mine its a bit much !
just got a price from manufacturers for a new pump and accumulator! thunk! have ordered one from breakers! thanks for the help !
