Default ABS repair kit

I have the 3 amigo lights just like everyone else. I found on Amazon a ABS module repair kit. I was wondering if anyone has used this and know if this will fix the problem.

here is the link for the part:
Proper Spec SWO500030 ABS Modulator Switch Repair Kit : Amazon.com : Automotive Proper Spec SWO500030 ABS Modulator Switch Repair Kit : Amazon.com : Automotive

thank you!

Do some research on here. You will need to get the codes causing the 3 Amigos. No one can help you until we have those codes. You will need a scanner that can scan the ABS system on a Land Rover.

Get the fault codes read and cleared before repairing the Wabco ABS shuttle valve unit as these may be generated by something else completely different and you may waste your time and money.

have never heard of the Amazon brand. I think most folks here use the Falconworks kit, which is on my "to-do" list.

Default Amazon kit is missing

This kit does not appear to have the O rings which fail as well. Falcon works out of Tuscon, AZ has a kit with the O rings. Here is the link to their page:
FAST Intelligent Auto Repair | Tucson Land Rover, Jaguar, Prius, Mini repair | Specialists
I used one of their kits when I did the ABS mod everyone talks about here.

For info
The D2 Wbco ABS units is plauge by sensitivity.
The same unit was installed on ther vehicles with similar problems.

Simply follow the instructions on the LR club website. The modification outlined at the bottom of this page should be enough to say "adios a Los Tres Queridos Amigos!

They are only marketed on Amazon by Proper Spec.

I'm don't know about Amazon US but the UK website sells a lot of gear sold by others just using the Amazon website.
