Thread: really dumb question - brake light on instrument panel ??

Do you have an owner's handbook? It will be in there and show the location of the light. If you don't have one you can view (and print it off or save) it here: Land Rover INT - Instructional Videos & Manuals - Handbooks & Manuals

Your Tie fighter looks like the diff-lock light, but that is amber

Owner's Handbook -> Controls and Instruments -> Warning Lights

I think you might be referring to the Diff Lock symbol. Is it amber in colour?

Hi - no amber - it's all red as per the pic I drew.... will have to literally dig up the landrover manual but will sus out the link...

any other ideas?

What year Disco is it by the way?

DM TD5 - Thank you *big Kiss*....

Ok - It's definately the diff lock... strange, as it's not been enabled by me or anyone else for that matter - do they enable 'themselves' by any chance???

The link that was posted after I got the link working states"...

Contact your dealer immediately and ask for the differential to be unlocked.

Given I have not LOCKED it - is it something that I can do myself to unlock it, or, is it only accessible via the onboard puter that a dealer can do??

Please help...

Thanks

btw - 2000 model w/ vin starting w/ SALL

2000 model should have a lever on the floor to select diff lock.

SALL means it was built by Land Rover in Solihull.

ok - well - i'm no longer a blond but still don't get it *ROFL*...

a lever on the floor.... - I have the 4wd - low wheel drive stick, is that it???

could you kindly explain where please and once found what I need to do. I'm use to the really really really OLD 4wd's where you change the diff lock on the actual rim/tyre thing outside the truck *lol*.... excuse my non techo lingo - it's amusing I know!


Thanks :-p

2000MY won't have the diff lock to the Hi/Low lever but will have the mechanism in the transfer case. I've never done it or looked for it, but there is a square end protruding from the case that can be moved to manually lock/unlock the centre diff somewhere under the vehicle. Some one who knows what to do should pop up soon, but you can probably find it by searching for CDL on the forum as its a common kit to install in the D2's.
