Traction control - lights - won't go up a hill!?!?!
So, this morning I go to drive my 2003 Disco.
I notice it is going WAAAAAY slow. I see the traction control light is on. But the button is not engaged.
Then the M and S light start flashing. The the "D" letter starts flashing. Then traction control and ABS. Then Service Engine soon.
Meanwhile the truck can't even make it up the hill on my driveway.
I've seen lots of threads about the lights, sensors and such... but none about the car actually not driving.
Does anyone have a clue what this would be. I guess I'm going to tow it to the dealership.
Thanks for any input!!!

On a hunch, sounds like the flashing M and S and slow driving means that you're in limp home mode. You're truck is stuck in 3rd gear. You can get up your driveway, you'll just have to give it lots more go juice.
I'll leave the rest for the board heavies...

Alot of the time when the m and s is on it is because of low voltage. Your tranny goes into limp mode which is 3rd gear. I wouldn't drive it to much like that. So first thing to do is have the battery checked.
