Brakes iced up? - Land Rovers Only

trellis8 · 02-19-2008, 06:18 PM

I have a '93 Range Rover lwb and I was running down the highway last night and accidentally ran through a rather large and deep puddle. We have had some flooding due to heavy rains and frozen ground. Well, I was home in about 1 minute and parked. The temps dropped below 0 and stayed in the single digits all day today. When I got in the truck tonight it won't move either forward or reverse. It feels like the brakes are locked up. You can feel it pull when in gear but won't budge. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Yep, it happens. Big problem at Winter Romp, you need to drag the brakes a bit after a puddle or water hole in winter to dry them out.

low range and break them free? Had to do that at the romp a few times.

Thank you Gentlemen! I just put it back on the road after about 1 month with a broken axle. A lot of snow storms without my only 4x4 really sucked! I was hoping I didn't fry something.
