If your three amigos is caused by shuttle valve switches read this. I, and many others have done this, and it does work.

ABS Mod - LAND ROVER CLUB V.I.

Thanks for the advice, that's quite a handy feature of this forum. There is actually someone with a diagnostic tool here in Shellharbour where I'm presently visiting. Will try to get in touch.

Oddly enough when I looked under the good, the two pronged plugs on either side of the engine bay where disconnected, and it looked like a black female socket on the left hand side of the engine was disconnected too. None of them had a suitable partner so not sure what's going on there. That ABS mod started off simple but looks a little tricky towards the end!

As for the noise, I did read up that it might be the ACE making the noise but don't believe my Discovery comes with the option.

To see if you have ACE have a look at where you put power steering fluid. On ACE equipped models the reservoir is divided, with ACE fluid in one half and power steering in the other.

Yeah, it just has the one reservoir. Hoping the whining noise isn't a serious issue anyway. The engine feels and sounds solid.

That noise from the belt could be the idler pulley. I haven't had to do one yet but I know they do wear out.

I managed to take a video of it, and also included the two male connectors, and female connector - all without partners which might have something to do with the three amigos.

As for the idler pulley, could it be worthwhile just changing the tensioner and bearings? Since either myself or the mechanic would have to get in there, maybe it's worth changing what I can - but also affordably...

Here is the video - it starts making the noise at around 1.18:

On another forum I read someone recommended to change the following rather than forking out for the full unit:

1. Tensionner: #6203
2. small idler: #6203
3. Large idler: #6304
   - All with double seals

First connector 2 pins is for the ABS sensor. There should be a clip about where the end was sitting and a grommet with the female end sticking through into the engine bay. The other end goes to the hub.

Can't see the other commector in detail in between the cracks in the phone screen. Will have another look at home but can't remember anything being there.

Turn on the aircon see if the noise stops?
Could be ac compressor clutch bearings.
