3 Amigos - sticky?

I'm a semi-new member to this site and a proud owner of the reappearing 3 Amigos.

Is there a way for someone to put a STICKY on this subject? I just done a search and there is 5 pages of stuff on this subject!

Looks as if this is something most of us have and I'm sure would like to get rid of.

Whats a STICKY?

When a thread always appears at the top of the section in the forum..

Maybe a lack of a sticky is the first clue people just want to ignore their three amigos.

I did.

Why not a class action suit? If something is this popular to have it's own name I would think that Land Rover should pony up. I drove my 03 Disco off the lot three months ago and 1 week into it I am greeted by the tres hombres daily when I hit the speed bump at work.

You have a hub going.

You have a hub going.

Or a bad sensor cable. Landrover has new overlay cables for these things now. They are also very long for those of us with lifts!

Cheers,

The other day we were driving and "ding, ding, ding" after not showing their face for at least a week and my wife said, "Their back"!

Thought it was very funny for her to address them like that.

I/ve had them fixed many times. They are going off right now but I now know the following:
IF your breaks squel, even only a little when cold, and the three amigos go off while breaking, your are due for a breakjob.
IF you get the three amigo with no squel, than the problems with the ABS modulator. Previously, the Dealer would just replace the modulator but I heard LR is coming out with a rebuild kit for the ABS, If it is not out already........

Yeah they have 2 kits out now. one ($60.00 + tax) and a full kit which has the front face of the ABS unit + shuttle valve repair kit its around $700.00 + tax. I bought the shuttle valve only, and i have yet to get the codes cleared (doing it sometime soon) but it took me 40 minutes tops to replace it, and i had NO IDEA what i was doing:smilelol:

watch out the estimate from dealer. I got quoted over $2k replacing whole module but instead got that repair kit and done, very simple job.

 

[disco2hunter]

Does Anyone have the part number for the repair kit? And can you get it online. Thanks!

 

[scottagnew101]

repair kit SW0500030 (the dealer)

Its only $5 more at the dealer then roverparts.com, after shipping i think it would be cheaper to go to the dealer.

Best of luck
