Right ,I'm trying to avoid fiscal ruination rectifying the 3 amigos laughing at me each time I use the car.
Recently fault code interrogation revealed the recently replaced Wabco ABS pump had failed again on the same , but different end , shuttle valve failure as the original.
After searching here and on Google these valves are replacable and indeed LR offer just such a kit.
There are different pumps ( ie Disco 2 ) but I've ,so far , found this correctly identified kit to replace the dreaded shuttle valves on my FL 1 .

2 questions I have ........
1- Has anyone fitted this kit with success and
2 - I recall a FL supplier mentioned on here that had to be avoided at all costs who had a name very similar to the seller of this kit ,can anyone confirm or otherwise that these guys are NOT the one to avoid. Their feedback is 100% but better to be safe etc.
It's been an intersting journey , so far , in establishing the problems with these Wabco pumps . One comprehensive write up with photos showed some shocking quality of assembly and soldering at manufacture which would certainly impact on the life of the pump.
