$ to high for ABS scan - 1/8/2008 5:19:34 AM    zerochills   Posts: 73 Joined: 4/12/2007 Status: offline Called my only local Independant LR service provider with in 50 mi. to have my ABS system scanned.  They said it would be $147, to high???  Sounds almost like dealer price's to me! FYI, anybody looking for an Independant LR service center in Maryland:         English Auto LLC in Odenton Md         Airpark Rovers in Rockville Md         Treasured Motorcar Services in Reisterstown Md Hope it helps. _____________________________ 2000 Land Rover Disco II 2003 Volvo S40 2003 Jaguar X Type Post #: 1

Something closer or under a hundred, although still too expensive is the norm, unless you live in an area where they can gouge you. _____________________________ Mike Retired service manager.

Many times the trio will come on because of a momentary glitch and not a failure, so make sure they will turn the lights of and let you drive it to see if they come back. _____________________________ Mike Retired service manager.

I got one because I do expedition travel, can't have a vehicle you can't diagnose alone with the tools you have with you when you're hundreds of miles from help. (in reply to Disco Mike) Post #: 5
