Default Intermittent 3 Amigos

Always wanted a LR now I have (04 Disco II 58k) one. I have the three amigos every once in a while. They seem to occur when the weather is very warm 75+. IF i shut the engine off they go away. I have read a number of postings, and see a number of different answers. Do any of the experts know if high temps affect the 3 amigos?
Have not bought an ABS amigo yet. Does anyone know of an indie LR mech in lower Fairfield county CT or a forum memeber in the area who will rent theirs?

Are your front wheels all black from brake dust, do your brakes squeak and how long has it been since you did a complete brake fluid flush?

The front wheels are not black at all. The brakes do not squeak. I have had the car since July and have not done a flush.

if it resets with the ignition i am 99% sure its the shuttle valve/modulator problem. If you throw a code from a wheel sensor, again I'm 99% sure you have to have your coded reset with a scan gauge. The fact it comes and goes makes it sound like a shuttle valve/modulator issues.
Now i had a the full set of problems when i purchased the Rover, A dry joint in the modulator, a failed shuttle valve and bad front wheel sensor, so i ended up doing all the fixes one after another... then the other front sensor went and i drove it for 7 months and just this week got around to replacing it.
Worth doing. love the no yellow lights look!
