Hi, I am a new member and also have learned a lot from just browsing.
I have a 1999 Disco I I . I do have the "3". Amigo's on dash lit up since owned for approx. 2 years problem free. 110,000 miles on odometer. Today speedo just stopped working. I read though the searches but still feel compelled to ask as I may be able to get it fixed myself with out looking for a needle in hay stack. Would the sensors behind the rotors have anything to do with this? I read trans sensor. I do mostly all wrench work on all my cars/trucks. But not real Informed about this...still in learning steps. I have all matainence done base on the how to forum. Any simple checks before my wallet gets beat up would be great. Thanks

 

I would run a scan on the abs system and see if there are any speed sensor failures first.

 

On that year are is the 2 or 4? Frt/back? At the. Wheel or trans?
Thanks

 

Each wheel has it's own speed sensor (so that the traction control system can work) and each one is rather... touchy.

If you can get a scanner that can read the ABS codes on the land rover it will tell you anything and everything.

 

Thank you, kinda what I thought. Did I read on here somewhere a guy sends scanner out for use with Paypal account?
Local stealer say 85$ to scan it. Good bad? Worth it?

 

There are a few people that rent them out for free on here, you just use paypal to leave a deposit so you return it.

A lot of newer scanners on the market can read ABS codes without any problem. Personally I bought an Autel AL619 and you just need to update it online to get all the current land rover codes on it. I think I paid like $160 but it works great on all my vehicles and friends.

Where do you live??

 

thanks! I live just about 15 min north of Detroit (please don't judge me,lol!) I did get a free scan from Auto Zone from a grumpy man and codes were.. P0500 & P1590 and said he don't know as his comp don't tell. I was thinking he just didn't know...went to a trans shop and they scanned and code came out as "Speed sensor A". So look on line a little but any help with where it is. I see what looks like it driver side of trans next to shifter. Looks kinda hard to get to but is that it?
Thanks, Redd

 

Thanks, I got the p0500 and that's speed sensor, found it as looked under and spotted it. Also refers to speed sensor in manual page 44-3 #4. I did /do have 3 amigos as alway but speedo just stopped after 2 years so would a good bet be that one on the trans at least ?
