It is just a reminder to go to dealer for them to check emmission system. Comes on at 50K and intervals after that. Remove and use as paperweight like one member.
Some guys peel off the paper label, short the internal pins which resets the timer, and leave it. But all it does is turn on a light.

My daughter is in college. And her ride is the Land Rover. I feel your pain....

Hi Savannah,
You were right!!
It is a "Service Engine" red light..
The "Check Engine" amber has been off..
I have not had any light on this Rover lit for years..
I found this procedure and will try it to turn off the Service Engine.
Unfortulately my wife looks for ANY PROBLEM to start the new car selection process.
I may not be able to save the D1 this time.
She has had enough scares
Emission Maintenance Reminder
The emission maintenance reminder is designed to activate at 52,500 and 105,000 miles respectively and will illuminate a "Service Engine", or check engine red warning light in instrument binnacle.
The "Check Engine" light terminology was used on 1988-1989 vehicles. In 1990 this light relabeled "Service Engine" and is known as the Service Reminder Indicator (SRI) in the industry. This Service Reminder Indicator is retained on current models.
The emission maintenance reminder must be reset after required maintenance has been carried out and a new tamper proof label installed by the servicing technician.
The control unit is located:

Part of the solution is to take SWMBO by the dealer when it is closed and get a close up look at those price stickers. Then run the numbers in an online calculator - and decide if you want "another" mortgage payment.

As Savannah suggested pulled off the kick panel.
RED relay was there.
Huge TRW relay.
Had to pull it apart
There are three pins to short.
Shorted all combinations.
The box has a battery in it so it is actually a clock of a sort.
"Service Engine" light went out.
Comes on at key on.
On engine start goes out.
Now no lights on.
Happy
