If you did manage to do it you might still need to bleed it not sure.

I have a mate at work who owns a 200tdi defender. He has offered to lend me a hand and help pull the wings and parts off and have a look and try to replace the shuttle valve first. Will be a few weeks away until we can attempt it.

I wonder why Land Rover would make the Modulator's different between the 2 types of vehicles if they both worked exactly same? To make extra $$?

That was my concern as well.

Hey Scotty, I've had the same issue for a while. The lights come on or stay off without ant type of pattern. Hope it works out well for you and im keeping a keen eye on the results. Good luck!
