okay so we have a 99 discovery II and was told by many people that the prob with it was the ignition coil, so i ordered 1 from roverland in FL and we replaced it, but guess what, thats not the prob!!!???? So this is what my car does, it starts and drive until i turn it off, then it will not fire unless it sits for at least an hour!!??? any ideas anyone!!???

Did you ever recieve an answer to this question? I would be interested in knowing if there are less expensive wipers available.

Strange! But it obviously is a thermo problem. It is a diesel engine som that is the reason why it is running. Not starting ? Well, does that mean the engine imobilizer does not permit you to start? Or is it cranking but not starting? When you stop it and then immediately restart, does it fire then ? or is it completely dead?
If you will answer these questions and perhaps give as much info as possible, I might have some ideas where to start.
Let's hear

5 AMIGOS? by landroverblows

OK I have a 2003 Disco SE7.... I have a possible case of the 5 amigos.... Warning lights are:
 
1. brake - in red letters
2. abs
3. hillscent decline
4. traction control
5. service engine soon
 
i hear that i likely have an issue with my ABS modulator... i called dealership and service told me $3,000 but i found a modulator on ebay... is this a good purchase to fix my Disco?... is that an ass-reaming price or am i crazy?... can i fix this myself?...

I also found this on how to change it but is this possible for someone with little experience doing?... what is a fair price from a dealer to fix this?....
 
and the "service engine soon" light is a solid orange that came on after those other 4 did... it flashes intermittently when i go uphills mostly... this can happen at 20 mph, 40, or 80... when this happens, my car will simultaneously start to jerk, epicenter seemingly near the front (engine)... at times it seems like it doesn't have enough rpm's to stabilize for the uphill climb... is this related to the hillscent decline light?... or is the hillscent decline light related to the ABS modulator/bad valves?... or all of the above??!

DO NOT buy this car... It is not a well made machine... I have a 2003 SE7 Disco 2 and it has some oddities in regards to control placement... I figured that out though... It's a British car and so the controls were designed to be used by a driver on the right side...
 
A lot of people have complained about "the 3 amigos", a series of lights that require an ABS modulator pump and/or wheelspeed sensor to be replaced... Dealers are quoting up to $3,000 + to fix this but here's an ebay NEW part if you can fix it yourself....

I'm also having a problem with engine misfires... I think this can be fixed by changing the spark plugs...

Modulator MUST be new and sealed (I bought mine on ebay too). Used is useless. It took the dealer 2 days to install it and get it working correctly. Imagine trying to do it yourself. It is SO ridiculous that there has not been a recall or warranty extension on such a problem part. They have been failing regularly since the series II was introduced in 1999!

I have a 2000 Disco. The last time my three amigo lights (Hill Descent, ABS, TC) went on, I didn't do anything about it for about six months. Besides knowing that I didn't have ABS stopping power, I didn't effect my daily driving.
 
The jerking problem you describe isn't related to Hill Descent.
 
I know there's not one in every city, but find yourself a non-dealership Land Rover specialist. It's saved me a bunch over the years.
 
$3000 seems ridiculously high.

2004 DISCOVERY2 TRANSMISSION BACK-UP FAILURE by osunboro
Sep 25, 2009 (12:37 pm)
Reply
I GOT MY 2004 DISCOVERY 2 WITH 39,000 MILES AFTER IT HAD A FRONTAL COLLISION, WHICH I FIXED. AFTER I GOT IT TO AFRICA, THE REVERSE GEAR BEGAN TO FAIL. WHEN IT WONT MOVE ON REVERSE, I HAVE TO SWITCH IT ON AND OFF MANY TIMES, AND THEN, SOMETIMES, WOULD WORK, OTHER TIMES, WOULD NOT OPERATE ON REVERSE. BUT ALL FRONT GEARS WORK PERFECT. SOME MECHANIC DROPPED THE TRANSMISSION, SAID THERE WERE METAL FILINGS, INSIDE, AND REPLACED SOME GASKETS, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. SOMEONE HOOKED IT ON A PORTABLE SCANNER, NOT SURE ITS A LANDROVER SCANNER, HE SAID ITS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I SUSPECT ITS ELECTRICAL, OR ELECTRONIC. BUT YOU CAN HELP ME WITH A BETTER ANSWER, I BELIEVE. WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS, IT TRIGGERS THE CHECK ENGINE AND A SECOND RED LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD. THANKS.
