Hello All,
I am having problems with my 06 RRS S/C as when I turn my truck on and press the brake to switch from park to drive I receive a "transmission fault & HDC unavailable" on my dashboard and the traction light and brake light come on and stay on. After a short drive I receive a "Suspension Normal Height Only" message as well. Now my dashboard looks like a Christmas tree, before I take it into LRD i would like some input on what can be causing these problems. I don't mind paying for a qualified technician to diagnose my truck, however I don't want to authorize repairs that will not fix my problem. Any help is very much appreciated. Truck currently has 39k and is out of warranty, I did however purchase an extended warranty, will LRD accept these types of third party warranties?

On this side of the pond, calling it a "truck" isn't very well perceived... Range Rover Vogue ‘17 TDV6

Gone: Range Rover Vogue '11 4.4TDV8, Range Rover Sport ‘59, Range Rover Sport ‘56

My car also has this problem on start up where HDC fault and Transmission fault come up. If anyone has any info that would be great!

Thank you DRDILL! I ll be booking mine in now

Where did you go DRDILL? Was it Riders? Have heard bad stuff about them.

Yea heard that too. Sales where not to good but service was worse. Got family in truro so down there a fair bit. Brother in law works for MacSalvors and they had a lot of problems with them.

Ok thanks guys I appreciate the help, good note on your comment Martin, will post results when truck is done

I refer to mine as "the truck" at times. Or "the Sport". Or "the Rangie". Depends on the audience

She even has a nickname but I shalln't share that on here...  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

if it's a TDV8 i assume "the SLUT"?  ============
2010 TDV8 HSE - ooo laa laaaaaaaaa
2007 TDV8 HSE - superb car and very reliable
============
2012 - dearly departed, sadly missed.. to return in late 2013 with a new TDV8!

the SLUT??!!

more like RRS TDV8 - the preferred power-plant option........

(awaiting incoming...)

I just had near exactly the same problem, turned out to be an incorrect brake light bulb!! Range Rover Sport HSE and for a bit of weekend fun a S1 Lotus Elise with a few track biased additions!

V6'r!! burn the witch!!  ============

Problem sorted!

It was a build up of static in the cars circuits.

My freind who is a RAC man came round. Removed both terminals off the battery and connected both the terminals directly together. He left them connected together for 10 mins to clear the static in the system then connected it all back up and the problem is gone!

Nice easy free fix

So my Rover had 2 problems, 1 a faulty brake switch causing the brake light and traction light to come on so switch was replaced. 2 my compressor was going out therefor I had it rebuilt versus buying a new one. Its been 2 days since I picked up my rover and its running great...
