This is with Disco 3 4.0 petrol with no history of such behaviour.
The first one happens in half way through a 3km dirt road after the car has rented in amping ground for 2 days. Engine stopped suddenly and I saw mil light came on followed by many other lights on the dash. There was a message I believe something todo with brake light. I should have paid more attention but in haste I tried restarting the car which it did as normal and no faults on the dash.
Happened again in 10 mins later on bitumen in high speed. Lucky I managed to pull aside. Same error msg - which I forgot exact wording...I know...
I opened the bonnet and checked battery and all the connections I can locate and touch. As before car started normally without any indication of fault. I managed to drive 30k to Mansfield and replace the rear breaks light bulbs (15d).
I made approx 200 km since the incident, gremlins haven’t returned yet.
It’s very puzzling. Not sure where to go from here hence asking your thoughts.
