Over the past few months I have experienced the DSC cutting in when left cornering downhill at around 40-50mph, i.e. all the weight thrown over onto the offside front wheel. In the last couple of weeks this has been occuring more and more. Today driving approx 25 miles it activated on 3 occassions, once at only 30mph. Again, all downhill lefthand bends. All tyres are in good condition and correctly inflated. It does not happen on righthand downhill bends!
Any thoughts on this? and if it's happened to your D3, what was the fix? 4 x 4 x Really Far!

Mine was doing this, since I got new tyres it has stopped. Could be a faulty wheel speed sensor, but I'd expect other problems with that also.

Swapping tyres from left to right could prove it one way or the other... Disco 5 HSE Lux

Swap the two rear tyres round and see if it still occurs. Swap them back if it does though.
I had this when one rear tyre had a slow puncture - pumped it up again and all was OK till it went down again.
But then you say your tyres are OK.
Still worth checking.

Wheel bearing? Are all the tyres wearing OK?
As Rich says, the rear upper arm bushes are prone to wearing and having excess movement, especially up around 3-4 yrs/60k+ miles. And yes, they are a pig to do. Big chisel, and an even bigger hammer

Yep I have had this problem since 32000 km when I had to change tyre makes as the supply in NZ of factory tyres had dried up. Subsequently I returned to same tyres (but new) and the problem disappeared. I am now back on non original tyres and the problem has returned... DSC cutting in on left had corners and even then intermittently. Near enough 40 degrees South!!!
