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?... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-Land-Rover-discovery-99-04-II-ABS-Modulator-p- ump_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ65Q3a12Q7c66Q3a2Q7c39Q3a1Q7c72Q3a317Q7c293Q3a1Q7- c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem41474f6dbdQQitemZ280369262013QQptZ- MotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories 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??!

Replying to: mlove (Jan 31, 2009 9:46 pm) 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.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-Land-Rover-discovery-99-04-II-ABS-Modulator-p- ump_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ65Q3a12Q7c66Q3a2Q7c39Q3a1Q7c72Q3a317Q7c293Q3a1Q7- c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem41474f6dbdQQitemZ280369262013QQptZ- MotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories..... I'm also having a problem with engine misfires... I think this can be fixed by changing the spark plugs... |

Replying to: landroverblows (Aug 30, 2009 10:08 pm) 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. |

| 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. | |

I understand that the 2001 has an electronically controlled transmission. Yesterday a radiator hose hooked to a small plastic cansiter on the right side of the radiator popped off and sent anti-freeze spewing throughout the engine compartment. Luckily, I was at a hardware store when it occurred. I replaced the hose clamp and refilled it with antifreeze. To my shock and surprise, when I left the store onto the road, my transmission would not shift properly and I was attaining 3000 or so RPMs before it would finally downshift. By the time I reached home several miles away, the same thing started happening on the upshift, causing the rover to prematurely upshift at too high of speeds making it lurch as it upshifted and raising the RPMs too high. Is it possible that the antifreeze shorted something out having to do with the electronic transmission and if so, where do I look for the control module that controls the transmission? If the module is not located near where this hose popped off, what else could have been exposed to the antifreeze that would cause the transmission to act this way. I found it to be too great of a coincidence that the transmission worked fine until the hose blew off, so this is why I'm searching out this possibility first. thanks for any reply and assistance.
