    3 Amigos ... and then there were none !

    What a nice feeling ...

    Nanocom's been telling me for some time there was an intermittent output from the FRH sensor ... OK, reset and soldier on. I can live with that. Have an OEM front sensor from Paddocks I've been sitting on for a while so I'll get a round-tuit (actually have one stuck to the garage wall).

    It's been doing this for a while, then out of the blue the Nanocom starts telling me I've an SVS fault and not a sensor fault. Oh dear ... So I buy a Wabco shuttle valve assy some months ago in preparation .... research the procedure and ready myself for the job ... and the fault has now gone back to the FRH sensor ... Oh dear

    So, replaced the FRH sensor yesterday and 3 Amigos BE GONE !!!

    Find a BIG hill, engage HDC and give the ABS/SVS assy a good 3-4min run with no faults registered. Phew !!

    Gotta love a happy ending !

    Hope your radio is working.
    Life can get very lonely once the three little lads decide to migrate to another Disco.

    Dithering

    I get the impression that there are a lot of people dithering around with the 3 Amigos, even when their Nanocom has given them a clear impresion that one of their wheel sonsors is cactus. I'm one of them lol.
    Thanks for your encouraging post, I'll be replacing my LHR sensor asap and I expect the same good result.

    Be aware guys, if you have nanocom and you get intermittent wheel speed sensor signal fauts first chek the stationary inputs on live data(INPUTS) and if you get voltages fom all the sensors within the accepted limits(2.0 - 2.4V) it means that the sensor could be good but the signal is intermittent due to worn hub cos there's a play in the reluctor ring so paying for a sensor might be in vain cos if you have to buy a hub it will come with sensor fitted

    I think--
    its far more likely to be the joint in the sensor cable,,
    tis why the replacement part is one piece

    as for you Fluids,,,
    I always thought the radio was up to cover the rattling--
