I've seen other postings about this problem, but does anyone else have any advice? I'm not a mechanic so please keep it simple for me!

Here's the problem... All three warning lights suddenly switch on for no apparent reason whilst driving -- pulling over and switching off the ignition normally resets them. The brakes still work but without the ABS. I'm driving a Disco II TD5 on an 03 plate...

Daviop writes of the same problem:
...took the car to an ABS specialist, they interogated the computer for the umpteenth time... and again the fault recorded was the shuttle valve failure. They removed the ABS unit stripped it down, and replaced the shuttle valves, put it back together, cleared the computer fault codes, and hey presto no lights on the dash board, ABS ETC HDC all working ...... coola shaker!!!! I am so pleased that the lights are gone now kind of puts your mind at rest..... cost well, £350 job done beats £1200 for a new modulator unit!!!

I'm going to contact Davio, just wondering if anyone else has any good ideas?

Thanks, Simon

The disco owners from across the pond call these 3 lights "The Three Amigos" or "Christmas Lights". Have a look on some of their threads on the subject: search results.

I think your problem is different to mine. I had the ABS stripped down and the shuttle filters replaced, which did the trick. No lights since then!
