Hi again, traced wire back to pin 9 on the black wabco abs, the original wire is the aswell but this extra one is crimped and soldered on to it then follows the path in my first post, I know pin 9 is for the shuttle valve switch i get the 3 amigos every now and again, so do you think someone has tried to cure it with this wire but the wire is not connected what the hell? ,ideas?:eek:

Right every one, checked all the pins and continuity between earths from abs modulater, that wire i keep going on about i was just looking at the end of it and i thought well i put it on an earth, bing bing bing three amigos show:eek: turned key on and off lights gone round, the block still gone, touched wire on earth again remember this wire is under the steering wheel bing bing bing:confused:, key on and off all lights gone round the block hdc working still all gone, so its defo connected to the 3 amigos i wonder if the wire alows you to reset all the time??? really odd asked my inde LR he is not sure.

Hi all,
My disco 2s under select warrenty for another three months so phoned stealertold him not happy with this wiring thing from modulator considering its earthing out, and blah blah not happy, they are going to pick it up next week and have a look, and leave me car to drive:) just worried that they wont cover it as select warrenty does not cover wiring, but im saying bought like it should have been checked.
I suppose it is rather a bad show it was from main stealer, and its starting throw the lights every day now will keep you informed:confused:

Hi all L/R are going to change shuttlevalve under warrenty :cool:and deal with the odd wire, but they said that rear hub leaking and not covered under a select warrenty, new rear pads and new hub fitted at main stealer wait for it £650:eek::eek: ha ha no thanks my indey lr will do it i said. Does everyone agree thats nuts for that job. What do u all think.

;)Hi all update on abs tc hdc, Lr replaced half of the modulater with part number SWO500040 under warrenty:D which includes the ecu unit for the modulater and shuttle valve. im sure this is the correct part to cure the 11,4 shuttle valve codes(three amigos), so i will keep you updated.
