Did all kinds of TLC with that crappy brain but it's either toast or the brakes have an issue, but 24 miles is all I got before she faulted again. Darn Ford/Land Rover....

Picked up the LR3 from a land rover dealer as it was an is car, no warranty no gaurentee. I am lucky that I use to work there and one of the techs looked it over, replaced one of the rear air shocks and he changed all the fluids for me. Drove the car to FL and back from MD 1,600 miles and it did not miss a beat and averaged 22mpg doing 70 mph with the cruise control on. Could not be happier. Yes it has a few internal issues, the radio has seen better days and a number of the buttons don't work, but thats ok as I will replace it eventually.

I've piddled with this enough to find if the faults clear and you don't use the brakes a lot like in traffic or light to it will not fault. I had it fault going thru a Mcdonalds drive thru using the brake pedal....

So I got home massaged the darn brake switch wiring, with the engine running and no faults I unplugged the brake switch. I instantly got a Trans fault, Cruise control fault, and HDC fault. I didn't get the Suspension warning as I wasn't moving. I slapped the original brake switch and we'll see what that does. I'm really leaning towards a brake switch wiring issue or something in brakes vs the TCM at this point.

"I slapped the original brake switch"
