| Suspension failure today! |
|
Driving along the road and d3 starts binging, warning appears 'HDC failure, special terrain programs off', 'suspension lowering' 
Three warning lights on the dash, Suspension, brakes and dsc. 
O dear!, Stopped and restarted car, all lights gone! Raised and lowered suspension through the full range manually, no problems. Tried to drive off and warning lights, binging and warning messages again, suspension down to access height 
Managed to get home slowly and now going to Team Valley Land Rovers in the morning
Will report on the outcome tomorrow.

Spot on matt  ,
Car back today and it was a failure in the brake pedal switch which can control the hill descent, so the car shuts down the terrain response.
Suspension goes into lowered so your not tempted to go off the tarmac I supose!
All sorted under warranty 
Thanks to Team Valley Land Rover, quick, efficent and friendly service.

Amazing how a small part like that can scare the living daylights out of an owner.
