All these lights came on today. New gearbox fitted a few weeks ago, car running so good now, then today, these messages came up. Suspension won't move. Car drives fine. Gears all working perfect.

Got battery checked a couple weeks ago and it was fine.

Get it checked again, and the alternator output

shawser · Dec 31, 2014

Can I disconnect the battery, reconnect and see if it clears it?

You can, but I almost guarantee its down to battery voltage. These babies love the voltage, if it drops a little all hell breaks loose.

Better to put a meter on the battery with the engine running and see what you have got, should be 14.5 volts at 2K rpm.

its been cold recently

or looking at the symptons maybe you have static when filling

shawser · Jan 3, 2015

Got battery checked and the alternator. Battery showing 14.4v@2k rpm, 13.9 @ idle. Alternator is fine. Twice today it didn't come on for a mile or so, then on as soon as ignition on.

Then it is now time for diagnostics!

shawser · Jan 3, 2015

It seem to have started after I blasted under arches with power washer, then I gave it a good blast along road around 80 mph, that's when messages came up, so I'm thinking a speed sensor or height sensor

I had this on mine when I first bought it over 2.5 years ago....went through a puddle and the bells and whistles went off...turned out to be a dicky height sensor connection....removed connector cleaned it up with contact cleaner and a tooth brush....fine ever since (touch wood!!)

shawser · Jan 3, 2015

That's what I'm hoping it is. Looked under car and the height sensor connection is certainly very exposed. Just seems a bit of a coincidence it happened after washing that area

shawser · Jan 3, 2015

Also what diagnostic tool would you recommend? Was looking at bearmach Hawkeye?

Never go near a Range Rover with a pressure washer, they don't even like deep puddles.

shawser · Jan 4, 2015

Beginning to realise that now.

shawser · Jan 5, 2015

Ok, something new to think about. This morning when driving away in car, no messages came up, but car would hardly move, felt as if abs was coming was coming on and braking the car. I worked handbrake up and down and it seemed to help. So thinking it is a sensor?

Saint.V8 · Jan 5, 2015

Hmmmm.....Petrol or Diesel??

shawser · Jan 5, 2015

Diesel. Phoned local 4x4 land rover specialist, it's going there soon. He thinks it's either abs or front drive shaft. Could be traction control. Apparently the coupling goes. I'm hoping it is, as it's covered under warranty.
