Why is your garage randomly replacing parts that aren't fixing the problem?
Have they read the fault codes with a suitable diagnostic kit?Mods:
Front Fogs + Halos
FBH Remote Control
The 1st Ever RRS Modded Grill
Garmin Nuvi + D4 Surround + Reversing Camera.
D4 Steering Wheel.
Rear Boot Spoiler.
Twin Brake Lights.
Wing Mirror Indicator Repeaters.
Long Roof Rails

I'm not scared, I'm outta here.

You did not mention all that in original post, I am sure they would have checked those first The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;

this has been to 3 different garages not one mentioned brake sensor all tried different diagnostics all supposed to be land rover approved
It is the brake switch behind the brake pedal, it is worth a try even just to eliminate it,likewise for the bulbs. I am no expert by any stretch of the imagination but it is one of the first things i fitted when i bought mine The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;

Mine had the same symptoms last year and it turned out to be a NSR wheel speed sensor so get the coded read.
I used a Nanocom and it was obvious from the fault lists, even down to which wheel it was faulting on.
