On my Disco 2, that would be a tranny over heat light, do you have a stick or automatic? You may find it is also being caused by a short or bad switch.

adz,

Turn you ignition key till your dash lights up and once the glo plug goes out look out for a red light with the said description under your indicator light and turn her over and it comes on for a second, well mine the other morning came on and locked out the starter.... try'd a few times and then it went off.. its like a gearbox oil light but she had just come back from a long slog on the M6 (1236miles) and this was the following morning of this week end trip.. confused to what it is and why lock out the starter when all level's where correct and saying that the starter will operate up to minus 25..
