    3 Amigos on after off roading in deep mud

    Yup AC max 5v Would actually swap the hubs, have everything to do the job apart from a hub puller. Last time I changed a hub i had to take the entire hub and half shaft to a garage with a press to get the hub off it.

    3 Amigos on after off roading in deep mud

    Took out the abs sensor today and its not chewed up. Inspected the reluctor ring and all the teeth look intact. see vid here... Discovery 2 abs reluctor ring - YouTube I just can figure out what is wrong. The sensor resistance is normal, but it just will not give a signal to the slabs...

    3 Amigos on after off roading in deep mud

    Tested the abs sensor wire with a multimeter at the slabs ecu.. Resistance is normal about 975-1000 on each sensor including the one that is giving the speedo reading of 0mph. Tested the voltage on the bogey sensor with the wheel moving about 20mph and it gave a blank 0. Didn't change at all.

    3 Amigos on after off roading in deep mud

    I say it would have if it let the clutch all the way out. I only let it slightly off the biting point and the speedo moved up to 15-20mph with only one wheel moving. I started to let clutch out a bit more but it started to move forward slightly as i heard scraping on the axel stand, so i...

    3 Amigos on after off roading in deep mud

    So i jacked up each wheel separately and engaged first gear and let out the clutch. Speedo moved for each wheel apart from front drivers side wheel... It stayed at 0mph. So I can take from this that it is this sensor that is causing the 3 amigos? Gonna check wiring first as I have it...

    Am in Dublin so would have to go to indy garage. Not too many hawkeye or nanocoms over here. Dealer is the usual €100+ for diagnostic and over here the earliest they could see you is 2-6 weeks and would require you to leave it in for 1-2 days :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    3 Amigos on after off roading in deep mud

    Ok so took the Disco through some very deep riverbed mud, got stuck a few times but eventually got it out. Washed the underside off by driving through a freshwater river up to door sills and when I got home power washed the wheels, underside and engine bay. All was fine for a day then when...

    Howdy all, bit of a snow related problem if anybody can help?? Took the 2001 disco 2 for a spin through some very thick snow and ice covered roads. All was going well until I turned into a car park that was just compacted ice that was rock hard with loads of bumps. Hit it a bit too fast...

    Diagnose my coolant leak

    Does anybody think that because of the relative small size of the leak that JB Weld would take care of it? It worked a charm plugging a hole in the rad I created while getting the auxiliary belt off!
