2007 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Manual Tambora Flame

I Hear A Click When I Depress Foot Brake

It sounds like a valve or some thing in the master cylinder but tbh its still there when the car is off so I'm thinking its more likely a link of some kind to the brake its self.

Not knowing the FL2 ( or been that mechanical tbh ) is there any areas that might need greasing etc as I'm pretty sure braking is ok.

2007 Freelander 2 i6 SE Auto Tambora Flame

I am going to assume it is an auto box. It is a mechanism that stops you moving the gearbox out of park unless you have the foot on the brake. You need to at least have the ignition on for the actuator to work.

I have something similar, say it is:

Is it easy to fix?

2015 Freelander 2 TD4_e SE Manual Orkney Grey

As you have the manual gearshift it could be the brake light switch or maybe the brake servo you are hearing, or it could even be just the pedal return spring if its dry?

Mine clicks, in the centre tunnel area, immediately that I press the pedal. There is a further click approx 30 seconds later when whatever was activated resets.
