I got the three amigos light up this morning. They lit up as I was reversing off my drive this morning.
I washed the Disco' yesterday evening (still hadn't dried off by this a.m.)this morning was the first jaunt since. I'm hoping that some water got into somewhere while I was washing it and it'll dry out today.
I did give the underneath and up in the wheel arches a good swilling.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

Most probably it will be the rear nearside sensor. Probalbybest to leave it 24 hours at it may well dry out. Replacing however is not too much of a headache but, if you can get to it, a shoogle might just sort it.

Sorry if I sound a bit thick....But what's a shoogle?

O.K. I'm a little wiser now thanks to google.
It seems "Shoogle" is the Scottish equiv' of "Jiggle it a bit".

Gave them all a wee shoogle, and checked for perished wiring. Fruitless.
Think I'll just give it to "Ultimate Land Rover" to sort out.

Exactly the same thing has happened with mine, it's come on/off about 6 times in the last 3 weeks...

Once the system has recognised a fault, it will store it and needs to be sorted/delted off the system preferably ASAP or 'The Three amigos' will keep re-occuring and store further faults.

Apparently it could be many of things, best to get it looked at. Good luck - I hope mines not too expensive to sort!!

Got it sorted...I popped in to see the nice blokes at Ultimat Land Rover on the way home t'other day.
They plugged it into the puter there and then, turns out it was the front left sensor. They cancelled the alarm for me and it's not returned yet. Fingers crossed it'll be ok now, I reckon it was from washing it on the sunday....I did get a strange squeel from the front brakes when I backed off my drive the following morning.
Think it must have been the vibration from the squeel that set the alarm off.
