Land Rover Repair: Disco II 2002 Auto GS, shuttle valve, wood hi

Question
Hi John
Please can you give me some pointers, I have a problem with the ABS, Traction control and down hill descent iluminating on my dashboard. This the stops the traction and down hill descent from working.  I have had the sensors replaced on the front hubs and had the wires checked for faults, the abs contol box checked. Still no results, mechanic recommends replacing whole computer.  Is there anything else I can check before going to the cost of a new computer"?

Thanks for the help in advance,
Regards,
Adam Wood

Answer
Hi Adam,

when you say computer, do you mean the Controller?  If so, its possible that it could cause the 3 amigos (a term I coin many, many years ago).  It could also be shuttle valve failure and your mechanice can buy a kit that rebuilds this.

Check this webpage for more on the 3 amigos - causes and fixes:
