I am a newbie here on this site and looking to do the abs fix tomorrow but for some reason I am not able to print this off. Hopefully i am asking for help in the right place and was wondering if someone could email it to me or what my options were as far as getting this printed off. Thanks for any help

Add me to the list of hopeful success stories. One week now after option B and no Three Amigos!!!! Getting the 3 allen screws out was the only pain. Use a 2x4 to lift and allow room to work and a very short allen key is your best bet to keep it turning without having to find the screw each small rotation. The job took me a few hours but that was taking it very slow (I am not a wrench by any means) slow and steady with a couple of cold ones and the laptop nearby.
Josh, many thanks to you for the excellent write-up. Saved me about $1100 for the shuttle valve rebuild. My independent LR shop is amazed. Of course they don't want the word to get out!

I just purchased a used Land Rover Disco 2 with the 3 Amigo's lit up... Completed this repair along with bleeding the brakes in just under 4 hours... It's been a couple weeks now and haven't seen the 3 amigo's since...
The only hazard while doing this repair was while soldering the wires, I put down the soldering gun, and without looking went to pick it back up... Yeah, I grabbed the wrong end. The good news. The solder gun was hot and ready to go... The bad new. The solder gun was hot and ready to go...
Besides my little error with the solder gun - the fix went smoothly! Thanks for the awesome write up!

Did mine... No more Three Amigos
Gotta say, this is a great piece of info. Great thread!
I did the fix this past weekend and had no problems at all. I skipped straight to the bottom section and went from there.
My SV was bad, replaced with a new one from BP, and new that that was the extent of my issues, but went ahead and did the fix anyway, just because I don't ever want to see those "GUYS" again!
