Thread: Three Amigos

had the three amigo's light up last week. took it to graham coopers
for e.c.u. upgrade. had previously been fitted with the wrong e.c.u.
three amigo's showed up on diagnostics as front R.H. A.B.S. sensor. had replaced, problem fixed till next time.

My 2000 Disco has had the three Amigos come on every few months for the last 6 years. Since I got the Nanocom I just reset it. It seems to come on when I am towing a heavy load and braking while turning at very low speed. I have kind of got used to it.

I suspect that the shuttle valve in ABS block is to fault.
There is a cheap upgrade kit available from UK to solve this.
I had two RHS ABS wheel sensors replaced under warranty before LR dealer told me I was up for ABS modulator replacement after warranty expired ($3.5K)
The UK kit fixed problem & I now have 185K on my 2000 TD5 without any more ABS issues. Sometimes the ABS wiring harness develops faults that can be bypassed with external wiring as I have done when one of my rear ABS sensors was supposedly faulty. If you use your Disco in heavy offroad conditions, as I do on Stradbroke island regularly, you have to expect that sensitive electronics will suffer & require replacement.

Its only $120 and it fixes the 3 Amigoes in about 90% of cases.

That is the same sensor that failed on mine... some one else (discovery auto in perth) picked it up 3 years before it actually failed. (my dealer failed to pick it up!!)
