Dave F Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Hi, I have a 3.0 2006 Alphard, converted to camper, and never been very impressed with the brakes. It stops, but to stop quick it needs a real proper push on the pedal, and seems to lack initial bite. There's no real lip on the discs, and the pads look ok. Is ths normal with the added weight of a conversion ? Surely thats no more than a full load in passenger form? Has anyone upgraded? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks You could try and bleed the brakes to see if that improves the 'feel'. You could consider changing the front pads for ones known to be OEM. I believe some owners fit improved brake hoses too. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted May 19 Author Share Posted May 19 Thanks Rojie, Good plan, I'll start with a brake fluid change, i've no idea how old the stuff in there is. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
