Disengage downhill descent

[nooffroad]

I have an '02 freelander. Never does offroad. When the car has been stationary for a while and restarted the downhill descent will automatically engage, high revs and low gear. When the engine is warm it must be stopped and restarted to disengage the downhill descent. That is the only method that works. I have heard you can disconnect the downhill descent altogether, cut the wire leading to the gearbox??? Any ideas, options Thanks very much

if its engaged the hdc light turns green and it only goes 7mph. chances are you have a problem that has to be diagnosed.
