daftmick.

Try anything in these circuits...
HDC rely
First gear switch
Reverse gear switch
Accelerator position

Also see if the wiring is shorted under the gearstick gater. The wires here can break quite often.

what colour light is on ?

it is the amber light that is on

I have this problem with my Freelander. Chaser, can you shed any light as to where I should check the circuits you mentioned? My reverse lights are coming on by themselves, so I think the reverse gear switch could be at fault. Do you know where to find the reverse gear switch on a td4? I can only find info on the switch in the 1.8 petrol and early diesels. Thanks

Brake light switch is a common cause of the problem. Lots of threads about it here.

Yes I know the brake light switch is a common problem, but my brake lights are working fine. It's my reverse lights playing up. That's why I'm guessing it's the reverse light switch. I'll check the brake light switch tomorrow to be on the safe side.
