Obviously, dealer wants the cheaper option as it's coming out of his pocket...

That's the story, here's the question...

How do I garantie that the workmanship done by the dealers mechanic (not mine) is going to last? I am having nightmares that in a couple months, I'll be forking-out the dosh to pay for a complete replacement...... Any ideas?

If i were you i'd get a second opinion, that fault is a common Disco 2 problem and even if it is the modulator there are cheaper alternatives.

Your problem is called the 3 amigoes

Too test your system you can find a dirt road and do an emergency stop to test ABS or spin the wheels to test the traction control it should WORK even with these lights on, this will tell you that your modulator is still working.

There are alot on this forum that have had these lights come on and it has been fixed without replacing the modulator, me included so don't lash out just yet.

Baz.

I gave the 3 amigoes on at the moment due to a dirty sensor I haven't had the time to clean as yet. The car works fine, the lights pee me off though

I'd say Northern beaches or north shore Pedro.

Tex have a look at this too even with the dollar exchange and postage it will be cheaper, around 1/2 price.

let us know what they do and if they change out the modulator see if you can keep the old one for research I have pulled two to bits and found two different faults as out lined in the above links
