Thread: No More 3 Amigo's?

Just called Jopson Automotive in Carlton (an advertiser on our site) who say they will do a repair on the shuttle switch assembly, and whatever else they find and need to fix. There is a flat charge of $880 and they provide a 2 year guarantee on their work.
The guy I spoke to (Ian) also pointed out that some owners have had claims denied when assessors check and the Amigo's are on as they say that the ABS and SRS were not fully operational at the time of the crash. Anyone had this problem, and what do you think about what they are charging?

Did a search on this problem and found a post about the shuttle valve kit.

The kit is available from British4wd for $120


I have a 2000 TD5 & had a few 3 Amigo issues even under warranty.
The first time the computer said it was front right sensor. LR replaced sensor twice, but lights on again two weeks later & second time one month . Finally traced to intermittent wiring harness. LR ran some external cabling to sensor socket.
Next well out of warranty, 3 Amigos again! Computer diagnosed ABS modulator- shuttle valve. LR wanted to charge me for new modulator ($3500) but i did some searching on LR forums & found out there was a cheap kit to fix modulator.Told LR about kit & they agreed to obtain & fit. Only $500 inc labour.
Touch wood, I have not had any ABS/traction problems since.

Cheers..B
