Hi recently bought disco 2 V reg (99) plate, within 1 week got the 3 amigo's on dash (ABS; TC and hill descent lights on). checked all brakes, (all new; ABS sensors look OK), then friend said check ECUas that year had a probem in that the injector cable(s) start to 'wick' oil along the cable and into the ECU and when I took the ECU out he ws correct, connector and ECU full of oil. What can I do to resolve it?
Thanks John

Wash it in brake cleaner and then LET IT DRY!

Two of the most common D2 issues, the net and this forum too are full of explanations(google out "td5 oil in loom/ECU" and "3 amigos")... u will be amazed, e.g. Web Rover , http://www.landroverclubvi.com/uploads/2/3/9/8/2398536/troubleshooting_abs-hdc-tc_warning_lamp.pdf
