Land Rover Repair: brake repairs?, landrover discovery, how to bleed brakes

Question
i have a '97 landrover discovery. I want to know how to bleed brakes. can you give me some info on how to do this? im loosing fluid & my brake pedal goes all the way to the floor.filled with fluid,but it seems like i have air in the line. is this my only problem? the truck is also a 4 x 4. thanks!


Answer
If you are losing fluid you need to find the leak and fix it.  Once you have fixed the leak you can bleed the system by opening the bleed screws one at a time and depressing the pedal, then closing the screw and releasing.  The entire process is described step by step in the workshop manual, which I suggest you purchase if you want to do this yourself.
