Hi all
My name is Jamie and I’m new to this so please bear with me, I’ve bought a discovery around 2 years ago and it’s been ok apart from 1 problem that I can’t seem to get to the bottom off, I’m hoping someone on here could help me, so when I press the brake to release the park brake the abs, suspension, park brake and traction control (amber in colour) all flash up on the dashboard, why is this happening and what’s causing it to do this, it also happens when I’m actually driving too without pressing on anything, could anyone possibly please point me in the right direction. Thank you.

Welcome to LZ
Need to post question in model specific section, they will also need to know model and year.

Hi,
The year of the Landrover disco is 2006 and it’s the 2.7TDV6. Thank you

May need to get codes read
Brake switch is cheap and simple, also a known failure point on the d3

Hi there,
I’ve just ordered a brake switch and replaced it straight away and it’s exactly the same or seems even worse as when you drive it, it’s seems really stiff to turn, I don’t know why, I’ve also put the old one back in as it seemed better with that one, it also had a new hand brake on last year so god only knows what the problem is. Cheers.

I think you are going to need a mechanic with a code reader to see what is going on.
If you post up a rough location someone might be able to help.
There is always the D3forum as well.
