The brakes on my toyota hilux 2005 3.0d auto tend to stay on slightly after removing foot from pedal (eating up pads and discs) this problem comes and goes. changed master cylinder & discs pads etc

the brake pedal switch has failed or has come adrift from the pedal bracket you may have knocked with your foot and just dislodged it

brake pedal I take it
this from warped disc rotors for the brakes
the warp makes the caliper pistons move in and out and this comes back to the foot pedal
the problem is bad original discs fitted from the factory , discs been machined past acceptable limits
the fix is new after market , quality discs with new disc pads

There is a switch on the parking brake handle or foot pedal,witch ever it has,this is more than likely the problem.

CAR BRAKE PROBLEMS

It can be issue with master cylinder or the problem is there is still some air there in the system that has to be bleed. Or else the parts replaced are not aligned properly/.I suggest everything back.

Hey Stan the man,need your vehicles info.,year,make,model and engine size and Tommy on the spot here will send you a picture diagram of your rear brake assembly.There's a special spring tool you can get at auto parts store to remove and install springs,me got one.

You have to place your foot on the brake before the lever can be released out of the park position . If this does n't work have a look and see if the brake lights are working when depressing the brake pedal . If the brake lights don't function , replace the brake light operating switch which is located just behind the brake pedal .

Tip : note the distance the old switch is adjusted in relation to the brake pedal before you remove it and adjust the new one to the same distance .

This is the most common cause of the problem you have described .

You need to adjust the brake light switch (located in the pedal box (drivers foot well) ) The switch should only function after a reasonable amount of pedal travel and a slight adjustment will correct this . Good luck

So long as the brake booster is working, test it by turning on the engine, press the brake pedal all the way down, then shut off engine keeping your foot on the brake pedal, if the pedal comes up slightly pushing against your foot then the booster IS working.

Did you BLEED the brakes??????

Hi there,
when the noise is heard, try putting very slight pressure on the brake pedal and see if the noise goes away. If this is the case then definitely the brakes have to be removed and checked again. But if the noise is still present then it's something else doing that noise ans further investigations needs to be carried oput.
Cheers
