Any Ideas to the problem please

TD5 Disco 2 MY2000

When you press the brake pedal or select reverse then the Differential Lock light illuminates on the dashboard but the reversing and brake lights are not working.

Check fuse for brake lights.

Cheers Steve that was spot on - Never checked the fuses due to the diff lock light - thought it would have been a bigger problem

So anyone, can understand why the lights wernt working as the fuse had gone but why was the "Diff lock" light coming on?

The difflock light gets a "reverse" feed if it's no drain on the brake light circuit when the brake switck is closed.....same for the reversee......the mysterious ways of LR circuits
