I've pretty much given up on the 3 Amigos. The only people within any reasonable distance that can work on a Rover is the stealership. Those SOB's want $100+ just to read the codes. For what it would cost me to fix a system thats FUBAR to start with I could put a locker in the rear. I never liked the ABS anyway. So i bought 2004 discovery 2. It has three amigos and fault codes are:-rear left abs sensor signal too low-rear right abs sensor signal too low Earlier it also had-rear left abs sensor signal erratic Seller said that fault came when rear diff was repaired. I checked rear left sensor, cable looked okay and i removed o-ring. But still same problem. Menu for 3 Amigos provided by Allmenus.com. DISCLAIMER: Information shown may not reflect recent changes.

I had the 3 amigos a few years back! Would come on at any unpredictable time - usually could be cancelled by restarting the engine. Computer said '134 shuttle valve relay electrical fault' and on garage's advice we replaced ABS modulator (with a remanuf. One - I'm not entirely stupid or made of money).

Three Amigos is a 1986 American Westerncomedy film directed by John Landis and written by Lorne Michaels, Steve Martin, and Randy Newman, who wrote the songs for the film. Martin, Chevy Chase, and Martin Short star as the title characters, three silent film stars who are mistaken for real heroes by the suffering people of a small Mexican village. They must find a way to live up to their reputation and stop a malevolent bandit.

Plot[edit]

In 1916, the bandit 'El Guapo' and his gang are collecting protection money from the Mexican village of Santo Poco. Carmen, daughter of the village leader, searches for someone who can come to the rescue of her townspeople. While visiting a village church, she sees a silent film featuring 'The Three Amigos', a trio of gunfighters who protect the vulnerable from villains. Believing them to be real heroes, Carmen sends a telegram asking them to come and stop El Guapo.

Lucky Day, Dusty Bottoms, and Ned Nederlander are silent film actors from Los Angeles, California, who portray the Amigos on screen. When they demand a salary increase, studio executive Harry Flugleman fires them. Shortly afterward, they receive Carmen's telegram but misinterpret it as an invitation to appear in character and perform a show for the people of Santo Poco.

After breaking into the studio to retrieve their costumes, the Amigos head for Mexico. Stopping at a cantina near Santo Poco, they are mistaken for associates of a fast-shooting German pilot, who arrived just before they did and who is also in search of El Guapo. The Amigos perform a musical at the Cantina, singing 'My Little Buttercup', and leave the locals confused. The German's real associates then arrive at the cantina, proving themselves lethal with their pistols when everyone else laughs at them. A relieved Carmen picks up the Amigos and takes them to the village, where they are put up in the best house in town and pampered.

The next morning, when three of El Guapo's men come to raid the village, the Amigos do a Hollywood-style stunt show that leaves the men bemused. The bandits ride off, making everyone think that the Amigos have defeated the enemy. In reality, the men inform El Guapo of what has happened, and he decides to return the next day and kill the Amigos.

The village throws a victorious party for the Amigos. The next morning, El Guapo and his gang come to Santo Poco and call out the Amigos, but the Amigos think this is another show. After Lucky gets shot in the arm, the Amigos realize that these are real bandits and beg for mercy. El Guapo allows the Amigos to live, then has his men loot the village and kidnap Carmen. The Amigos leave Santo Poco in humiliation.

Ned persuades Lucky and Dusty to go after El Guapo, saying that they have nothing worth going back to in America and this is their chance to be real heroes. They spot a cargo plane and follow it; the plane is flown by the German, who has brought a shipment of rifles for the gang. Preparations are underway for El Guapo's 40th birthday party, and he plans to make Carmen his bride. The Amigos try to sneak into the hideout, with mixed results: Lucky is captured and chained up in a dungeon, Dusty crashes through a window into Carmen's room, and Ned ends up stuck, suspended from a piñata.

Lucky frees himself, but Dusty and Ned are held hostage. The German, having idolized Ned's quick-draw and gun spinning pistol skills since childhood, challenges him to a shootout. Ned kills the German, and Lucky holds El Guapo at gunpoint long enough for Carmen and the Amigos to escape in the German's plane.

Returning to Santo Poco with El Guapo's army in pursuit, the Amigos rally the villagers to stand up for themselves. Drawing inspiration from one of their old films, they have the villagers create improvised Amigos costumes. The bandits arrive, only to find themselves suddenly being shot at by Amigos from all sides and falling into hidden trenches dug by the villagers. El Guapo's men either ride off or are shot, and he takes a fatal wound as well. As he lies dying, the villagers, all dressed as Amigos, step out to confront him. El Guapo congratulates them, then shoots Lucky in the foot and dies.

The villagers offer to give the Amigos all the money they have, but the Amigos refuse it, saying (as in their movies) that 'seeing justice done is enough of a reward for them'. They then ride off into the sunset.

Production[edit]

The film was written by Martin, Michaels, and Randy Newman. According to Michaels, Martin approached him with the idea of the film and asked him to co-write it with him.[3] Martin originally had the working title of Three Cabelleros, the same as the Disney cartoon.

Newman contributed three original songs: 'The Ballad of the Three Amigos,' 'My Little Buttercup,' and 'Blue Shadows,' while the musical score was composed by Elmer Bernstein. It was shot in Simi Valley, California; Coronado National Forest; Old Tucson Studios; and Hollywood.[citation needed]

John Landis was on trial over the Twilight Zone tragedy during the editing of Three Amigos, and the studio heavily edited the film down after he submitted his final cut.[4]

The production went through many cast changes before filming. Since he is a co-screenwriter, Martin had been attached to the project since 1980 and he, Dan Aykroyd, and John Belushi were originally going to play the Three Amigos. At one point, Steven Spielberg was slated to direct; he wanted Martin, Bill Murray, and Robin Williams to portray Lucky, Dusty and Ned, respectively.[5] Landis has said that Rick Moranis would have been cast as Ned, had Short been unavailable.[6] When Aykroyd became unavailable, Chase replaced him. John Candy was set for the role originally intended for Belushi, as he did in the movie Armed and Dangerous, but he was too large to ride the horse. It was Candy who recommended Martin Short to Steve Martin, as they had worked together at SCTV. It was the first movie for Short, and he and Martin became close friends, and continue to perform together.[7] Candy would prominently be seen later riding a horse in the 1991 film Delirious.

Martin developed tinnitus after filming a pistol-shooting scene for the film.[8]

There were difficulties between the main actors and Landis. Most famously, it included a scene where Chase refused to tell a joke because he thought it would make his character look like a 'moron.' Chase agreed to do the line after he threatened to give it to Short instead.[9]

Deleted scenes[edit]

Several deleted scenes were included in the Blu-ray release.[10] An alternate opening featured the peaceful village of Santo Poco being rampaged upon by El Guapo and his men, prompting Carmen's search for help. Extended sequences of the Three Amigos at the studio mansion and backlot lead into another deleted subplot involving an up-and-coming rival actress at the studio, Miss Rene (Fran Drescher).[6]

A deleted scene featuring Sam Kinison as a mountain man was lost,[6] as were most of Drescher's other scenes.[10]

Reception[edit]

Box office[edit]

Three Amigos had a U.S. gross of $39.2 million.[2]

Critical response[edit]

Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 45% of 40 film critics gave the film a positive review, with an average rating of 5.16/10. The site's critical consensus reads, 'Three Amigos! stars a trio of gifted comedians and has an agreeably silly sense of humor, but they're often adrift in a dawdling story with too few laugh-out-loud moments.'[11] Film critic Roger Ebert awarded the film one out of four stars and said, 'The ideas to make Three Amigos into a good comedy are here, but the madness is missing.'[12] Janet Maslin of The New York Times wrote that it was 'likable' but lacked a 'distinctive style', though certain jokes are crafted with 'enjoyable sophistication'.[13] Caroline Wetsbrook of Empire awarded the film three out of five stars and wrote that it was 'good-natured enough to sustain its ultimately thin premise'.[14]

Despite this, the film has since been reviewed more favorably and has become a cult classic. Neil McNally of the website Den of Geek noted that the film was 'unfairly overlooked' when first released, and praised the performances of Martin, Chase, and Short; the comedic scriptwriting of Landis; and the 'sweeping, majestic' score by Bernstein.[15] The film was ranked #79 on Bravo's list of the '100 Funniest Movies'.[16]

Chevy Chase has described the making of this movie as 'the most fun I’ve ever had.'[17]

Discovery 3 Amigos

last week while turning left out of a junction, the 3 amigos appeared, following day was taken to an independant garage where it was connected to the computer, came up with the following error, low voltage or no voltage at nsf abs sensor.
Anyway it was reset, while driving home they came on again.
was taken back the following day to have the wires checked and they seem ok.
The question i ask, can you just replace the sensor and is it worth it?
or replace the whole hub bearing etc, which is about £180 for the part.
Are they easy to replace by myself.
Thanks in advance
Andy
