Could be worth checking the ABS connector on the wheel that the gaiter was changed.

Will defo check that out soon, got a nice list of things to work through I have found doing searches on landyzone

1. Worn or non-genuine brake shoes (said to be no.1 cause in US). Rattle or squeal can apparently activate sensors. One user reported that a rattle from a loosely secured brake pipe had set his off.
2. Faulty earth connection behind n/s headlamp.
3. Failed sensor.
4. Damaged wiring.
5. Damp or dirty harness connector at hub.
6. Early SLABS ECU software. Replacement with later part no SRD500070, which has better software with a wider tolerance, may solve problem.
7. Badly seated replacement sensor. Apparently may be difficult to seat the rubber O ring correctly on the Disco II, and this can cause the sensor bracket to bend and give incorrect gap. One mechanic suggests replacing the rubber seal with a very small amount of silicone sealer.
8. ABS modulator switches. It is possible to service the switches without replacing the modulator (LR service kit)
9. ABS modulator unit. Probably not economic to replace on this car.
10. Play in bearings
11. Modulator caps recall. There was a recall to replace the modulator unit caps with thicker ones. Part no B148.
12. Unequal tyre pressures.

9 times out of 10 its wheel sensor brake pads have nothing to do at all with it ,sensor is effected when wheel bearing is worn and extremely prone to damage when drive shaft removed refitted, tyre pressures is bollocks too ,

Would work out to be easier, anyone local to Southwater, West Sussex got access to one?? or has one?? don't really want to pay dealer price to have it done

Ok been a while i have today replaced all abs sensors, all bearings are good and whilst i was working on the car i replaced both rear suspension bags with dunlop versions, done full service also with bearmach products. ERth connections all good

Started car and still got the 3 amigos my question is does the ecu now need reseting / clearing of the error codes? If so as i am now unable to drive the td5 due to now being sorn does anyone local to southwater west sussex have something that would do this? I will pay does anyone on here hire one out???

Cheers james

Those lights will require a reset by hawkeye/nanocom or similar

Is this an MOT failure if these lights are on ?

With the new rules i believe it is unfortunatly

it will soon be an MOT refusal to test if you smoke in vehicle within 2hrs of test
