Discovery II

  • miles
I purchased my 2000 Land Rover discovery last February and a few days after purchase the traction control, anti lock light, ABS and down hill light came on. Went to dealership and they want me to replace the ABS module over $3000 parts and labor. This is just crazy as many others have the same issue. Please let me know if I have a legitimate complaint as I found many more with this issue at sites such as landroverforums.com/ and others. I did replace this part with a used one but same thing. Thank you in advance!

Discovery II 8-cyl

  • 73,000 miles
In my 2000 Land Rover discovery 2, as apparently in many others, from time to time, usually after applying the brakes in a routine stop, an alarm chimes and the lights on the dash illuminate showing that the anti-lock braking system is no longer working as well as the hill descent control and traction control system. This is such a common failure that just about every discovery 2 owner knows it by its nickname, the three amigos! clearly a failure in the ABS is serious, especially if it results in a valve locking up and disabling the brakes as has possibly happened. The other two functions relate to use in low traction environments, such as snow, and are potentially hazardous as well. I believe this should be a recall issue. This happens every time I drive my discovery, including today (the date I listed below).
