Land Rover Repair: Transmission

Question
QUESTION: Manual mode and sport mode light came on and are blinking, how serious is this and whats the fix?  Where do u check transmission fluid and filler location?

ANSWER: Hi Charles,  

M & S light flashing:  could be battery going bad, ground faults, inhibitor switch failure, tranny fluid low, internal tranny problem.  Could get to the point where you have trouble starting your vehicle (depends on the fault).

As for your 2nd question, model and year of your vehicle would have been helpful.

Answer
Thanks Charles,

yes the link I gave you applies to your '01 Disco.  Chances are you have an inhibitor switch fault but the best judge would come from an experienced LR mechanic.


Best of luck,
