Code reader in San Antonio
I am having a problem finding a shop in San Antonio that can read my codes and reset the computer. I have an intermittent problem with the 3 warning lights, TC, ABS and Hill descent. I have tried to deal with the Land Rover dealer here, but that hasn't worked out for me. Actually, they made kind of mad one day because they wanted $900 for a towing hitch. They are way too expensive for me.
I would just like to get the codes read and the computer reset and then decide what to do after I know what is wrong. Is $200 normally what one would pay for that service?
I am in San Antonio and would really appreciate a recommendation.
Thanks,
Bob

Try http://.texasrovers.org/
They have a Land Rover club in San Antonio and may know a Repair shop that can help.
The software that is needed to read the ABS system is for Rovers only.

This vehicle is OBD2 compliant - if you're talking about fault codes which trigger your check engine light you can read them yourself with an OBDI II code reader - these are available starting at around $50 (from harborfreight.com) and up depending on the level of sophistication and features.....however the european codes are a bit different than here so you'll need to get thecode list ....you can find that at http://www.robisonservice.com/servicedep/rover_obd2.asp

RE: Code reader in San Antonio
Thanks everyone for the help.
Mike, the Amigos come and go. Sometimes going a day or two without showing up. I tried replacing the rotors and brake pads to see if that would fix it, but no luck. I got the new brakes on eBay and they were supposed to be oem. Not a lot of dust on the wheels, it gets washed once a week. There is a small squeek at one point when you press the brake, press it harder and it goes away, let up just a little and it also goes away.
I have had the Discovery for just over a year and have had no other problems other than an exhause leak at the manifold that was a cheap fix (welded).
Lots of power, starts instantly and pulls a trailer like a dream. I don't put a lot of miles on it so I hope it lasts me a long time.

The warning lights were coming on before the squeek started, I don't know if that means anything or not.
I don't know anything about sound deadening material. Is it a liquid that can be painted on? Do I have to glue it on? Do I really have to take off the pads? It seems like I can get to the back of the pads just fine without having to remove the pads?Can I put the sound deadening material on like that? If I have to take the pads off should I check to see if the sensors are dirty and also should I maybe try to reset them if they look crooked?
All of these things are probably beyond my area of expertise and I probably shouldn't try to do it myself (learned from experience).
If I have the codes read before I put on the sound deadening material will that nullify the findings? (It is such a small squeek.)
Does anyone know anyone in San Antonio that has the capability to read and reset the codes on a Land Rover besides the dealer?
Sorry to be such a bother.

Mike, this is crazy, but I did what you said and tested the brakes by going 40 mph and then hitting the brakes. I stood on them as hard as I could. I felt something but I am not sure if it is what you were describing or not.
Here is the crazy part: My warning lights have not come on since then (almost a month). Did I fix something?
