After having the 3 Amigos light up, hearing a squealing sound and reading on the forum, I went to Autozone and got the P1590 code and now have decided to get the brakes looked at. The local LR shop is closed to day, can I take my 2003 Land Rover Discovery to another brake shop? What are your thoughts/experiences on having the brakes looked at?? Thanks!

 

the 1590 code is a rough road / abs related code, and the shop would need a computer / code tester that is specific to Rover ABS systems to deal with that and three Amigos. They may have a $20,000 code reader, but might not have the software specific to Rovers. You'll have to ask if they can reset codes for Rover ABS. CAn't do it with a generic OBDII reader. Brake squeal is usually pads, any shop or DIY home mechanic should be able to handle those.

 

If you are a little mechanical, go buy the $200 3 amigo scanner find and fix your own brake issues then post and resell your scanner for a loss of maybe $40. When you consider you will have to pay a shop 2 times, once for reading the codes and again for clearing them, this is the cheapest way to go.

 

Be careful...I had a bad rear brake pad...only because the rear caliper was stuck solid and had worn the pad down really low.

 

if you filled out your profile, maybe someone could help you out.
But we dont know if your in alabama or alaska, so it kind of hard to tell you were to go... for service that is.
