If you remember me from a couple weeks ago, I just purcahsed a 00 Disco II (27.5k on the clock) and I'm noticed some small things. At no speed or very low speed I hear a groin when steering. This usually happens when I back out of my driveway and turn to go down the road. The other problem is periodically I have my ABS, TC and Descent lights all go on with a beep... like my ABS goes dead. I can shut off the car and turn it back on and the lights do not come back.
In reading previous posts, it sounds like this may be the ABS module going bad... there was no resolution to the previious case so I thought I would see if any of you have seen this. It also looks quite pricey to fix, but it should be covered as my Disco is LR certified (with an additional two year warantee on top of the one year that comes with the cert. My dealer is an hour away, so if this is something I could fix easily in my garage (I'm pretty mechanically inclined) I'd rather do that.
Either way, I'd welcome your thoughts...

I've only owned my 2003 Discovery for 3 months and I'm new to the forum. I don't have an answer for you, but I have a very similar problem. My ABS, TC and Descent lights all came on (with a beep) and now they stay on. (This happened the first time I applied the brakes after leaving a carwash, while brakes were wet)
I was hoping I just "fooled" some kind of sensor, however, turning the vehicle on and off does not help. Like you, I'm an hour from the dealer and don't want to travel over there if this is something I can easily reset??
I look forward to thoughts on this issues as well...

hey i have a 98 disco. My abs light stays on until i reach about 5 mph. About a month ago it stayed on the whole time driving. even after i shut it off and turned it back on. I un hooked my battery ground for about 30 minutes and it was fixed. I had to enter the radio security code so make sure you know it first.
