Default After rear end hit 3 amigos are back

I was hit in the rear drivers side pretty good and now the 3 amigos are back on. Its being repaired by my insurance. I had fixed the amigos about a year ago and I just find it odd that they are back on after the rear end damage. Any opinions?

Dang buddy, may have been enough of a impact to jar a sensor loose sure the insurance company will get it sorted our for you and now you have a excuse to get them to do the repairs needed to make it good again.

Glad your okay AG!

To bad you cant convince them to give you a steel bumper that wont crumble so easy.

lr2001 you hit the nail on the head. I have a Tactical Rover bumper sitting at the body shop for a week now. The steel one I paid out of pocket for hoping to break even and I just will. Not having to use some trim parts helped. Im hoping it turns into a not sure need to buy this and that type of deal...More dated parts replaced that way. Only one other Disco where I live so people are clueless with them.

You need to have your insurance co make arrangements to get the codes read and fixed prior to you getting you back.

That will be your insurance companies issue to deal with.

please look at the rear damage pictures and do you see the green and black piece hanging down? Is that a breather valve for the rear axel of diff? I followed it and it connects to a plastic hose and runs to the rear axel. Does the green and black piece connect to anything? I have also noticed since the rear hit I hear a loud hiss when accelerating. Thanks in advance!
