Freelander TD4 problems! - monty1

Hi, a couple of queries I was wondering if anyone could help me with!

First, I have an intermittent fault, occasionally when I press my brake pedal the amber TC light and the amber hill descent light come on. They may stay on for a while or go off again almost immediately. Does anyone know why this might happen and what I can do to prevent it!

Second, the other day, my other half was doing 70mph down a dual carriageway when all of a sudden all power was lost! We put the hazards on and coasted safely (fortunately) to the side of the road, looked at each other, turned the ignition key and it just started up as though nothing had occurred! We had the heater on full blast blowing out cold air as it was a hot day - dont know if this has any bearing!!

If anyone could help with either query it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
