I just got to austin from houston and the disco drove excellent. I just got through yesterday doing my 60' service on the truck. Just left the resteraunt and the S light came on in the dash. I have my 2 year old son with me and we are leaving back to houston in the morning. What is the S light representing. Last time I had both the m & s light come 6 months ago it required a transmission fluid and filter change. It drove fine coming back from dinner but will it make the 250 mile journey home. Someone advise me of what I can do or need to do come morning time. Thanks so much for any help.

Yeah you can, pull off of a stoplight and if your shift points seem to be at a ridiculously high rpm for the speed your Disco is going forward you're in "Sport Mode". I got my Disco stuck in Drive with both the M and S lights lit up on the dash board, this turned out to be a low voltage problem and I replaced the battery. I DO NOT ADVOCATE THIS AS A FIX BUT I CAREFULLY STARTED THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ON AND THIS CANCELED OUT THE LOCK IN DRIVE,THE M AND I PRESSED THE SPORT BUTTON AND THAT SHUT OFF TOO. Please follow Mikes Advice Download the shop manual (S.T.A) , and Have your truck looked at by someone that can read Rover Error codes.

I'm stepping aside on this thread, I will say that when my DII Pulled HAL and electronically put me in a limp mode the first thing I tried was turning the truck on and off while the truck was shifted in both High and Low on the transfer case.(with a quick drive in both H and L to see if that would fix the warning light and shifting problem).

DiscoMike, If I had a manual I would have problably used it. Seeings that I was on my blackberry talking on this forum 200 miles from home I was limited on my resources on what to do. I did turn out to be the MODE button was stuck in Sports Mode. I guess when my son knocked his bottle off the arm rest it hit the button and jammed it some how. I was able to free it yesterday morning before heading back to Houston. Anyways thank you and everyone else for the information.
