I'm not aware that a series 1 disco can have the 3 amigo's problem, is it a 3.9 or 4ltr, door handles recessed or protruding ?

you only have 1 amigo with a d1, its part of owning an early not 'in vogue' model...however if you were to own a d2, then you could have more amigos...up to 3 is the usual count :p:wasntme:

the d1 antilock lamp has many causes, i suggest you have a search on this site,
