Hi guys ABS light has been on for a while. but MOT is due in a couple of months, I know this has been discused a thousand times on this forum so can any one put up a link to a site that tells you how to short the small blue plug by the fuse box and the fault codes. Thanks Kindwarf
One quick hit on google found it for me...

If you do the "Blink" test it will tell you the code so you can fix the problem, it will not knock the ABS light off, i did it on mine and got a 2-12, which is an air gap in front drivers side wheel. In other words knackered sensor. Cheapest i found for a sensor for a 1995 discovery was £62.

Did that with mine as well Stevo, it worked for a while then went alltogether. I tested the sensor with a multimeter and it was dead.
The ABS lights still on, ive got to get a new sensor.

On the early models (95 and before) there is a 16 pin socket just above the clutch, the wires you need are pin 4 Black and Pin 15 red/green.
On mine though it wasnt red/green it was Black/Pink.
Models with the 5 pin connector i dont know about.
What year is yours?

Hi first of all I'm sorry to "jump in", but I'm struggling with this blink test too. I've found the procedure, but I can't seem to locate the ABS lamp relay.
On the left hand side underdash there are three relays, 2 yellow base, 1 black none of the wire colours seem to tie in with any of the descriptions.
Under the drivers side there is what looks like an OBD socket, just above the clutch pedal. There's no blue connector near the fuse box.
Funny thing, even though the lights on, when I try the brakes on a loose surface, the ABS appears to be kicking in.

That would be most appreciated, the car is a 1997 300Tdi XS, on a R reg
Yes thanks for posting the picture Archie, I was able to locate the green relay 2nd time round.
Turns out my fault was the relay itself, swapped it for one out my big box of Disco spares and all is working now!

Exactly the same as mine Steve, wonder if the blink test can be done on a pre OBD socket?
