This morning I had a strange one happen, both transmission lights (M &S) were blinking and the LED on the shifter was blinking and I had lost power. As soon as I shut the vehicle down and restart it the lights cleared and it was fine. I know it's a Rover so funny things happen but I need to know if this is an alert for something major or something I can ignore?

 

I too just had this problem only with mine, after i restarted my check engine light came on. Have not had tome to take it to get codes read (will post those when I do). If it sheds any further light on it, I was traveling up hill on the 60 Fwy (between Arizon and California) with temps at 119[:@] Any insight would be greatly appreciated!!!

 

Mine happened from a cold start and the SES light has been on awhile.

 

Why do you drive around with a check engine light on?????????????????????????
Clean your battery cable and the go get both your fault codes read and have a battery/alternator test done. This will answer it all.

 

I just have not had time to take care of it.....I will do just that......

 

Not had time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So why asking use what to do?????????????????????

 

Didnt drive it after the CEL came on....just had to go straight to work for a double shift. I get off at 4PST and plan on taking it straight to Autozone to have the codes read. I did however check the battery cables and conections....everything seemed on the up and up, no corresion or other mess there and I believe the battery only has about 5K miles on it....although i am planning on switching to a duel yellow top set up like you Mike.

 

Low voltage can cause this, low tranny fluid too.
You need to get it checked out, any time a light on the dash flashes at you it is serious, the light flashing means "hey dumbass, look at me". Now I am not saying that you are a DA, but you need to get it looked at ASAP.
