There is a good Range Rover owner's forum - www.fullfatrr.com - where you'll find this fault has been experienced by others, and how to do a full DIY fix.

Thanks RJ

I will check on-line to see what more info I can find out on this gear-lever interlock. But this is where it really gets strange, following this post yesterday, I was out checking my lights as it was going in for an MOT that evening.

I had my lights on as normal so the indicators would have been blank, as I was not testing them at the time when I noticed that on the back indicator lights I was getting four red lights coming up across the centre of the lens. At the time I was in the process of checking the front spotlights and then the rear fog lights when I noticed it.

So now the question is, why am I getting these red lights when nothing should be on and why are they not amber. Following this I checked my indicators which worked normally and then something came into my head, I remembered reading on-line about the electrical inter-link play between the park gear and brakes and how this in-turn affects the sensor/solenoid on the ignition switch. So I applied the brake pedal more in hope to see what would happen and it worked and the lights went out. But when I turned the lights off and then the engine and then turned the engine on again to see what would happen, the red lights were back. I then tried the engine off again and the four red lights remained on. This would explains why after recharging my battery, while getting ready for the MOT after a few days it went flat. These red lights must be code to mechanics as to the unlaying problem. I don't know I feel it's now turning into a bit of a Sherlock holmes, anyone know a good Watson ?

Sorry RT, for getting your name wrong
