2001 D2 originally had coils retrofit by previous owner. I had the vehicle for 4 years now, and was suffering from battery drain. Found out the compressor was still active and hear a 'tick-tick' as if it was trying to turn on. The compressor is gone, relays etc pulled out. SLABS ECU sounds the alarm if I am cornering or going over a bump. Removed various fuses including ABS and still the alarm goes off. All fuses are back in.
Is it just as easy to remove fascia and snip alarm speakers (which may be useful in the future), or remove the specific SLABS relay or snip some pins within the relay? Also, the schematic mentions a "fuse link 9" which is a downstream connection prior to the height sensors, etc.
Do you have dash lights related to ACE or SLS? Sounds like it could be either system - not necessarily SLS, right?

I had the same problem after the air springs on my truck were converted to coils a few years ago. The best and "easiest" solution is to change the setting in the SLABS from air springs to coils. That disables the compressor and the alarms. Of course it's the easiest solution only if you have access to a diagnostic tool like a Nanocom or Hawkeye or a few others that we mere mortals are likely to have.
In my case I took it back to the shop that did the spring swap and they changed the setting in just a minute or two with their Autocom. Maybe you could rent the Nanocom that Brandon318 offers here on the forum, but I don't know whether or not there would be customs problems shipping it back and forth over the border. Maybe someone on this forum is in BC and can help you out with their Nanocom, Hawkeye, etc.
I found some OEM seats in excellent condition (with armrest and heat) and installed them. As you can see, the original driverside seat was worn bad and didn't want to buy a seat cover to hide it. Before installing the "new" seats, I coated them with leather conditioner. It only takes a few minutes to remove and install the seats and much easier if you have an 11mm 12-point socket.

Thank you Boston4 for your thoughts. I have the periodic 3 Amigos since day one, but the engine light and hill decent will always be on due to the change. I do not have ACE, so this limits to the SLS. With a code reader, the only error that comes up, I forgot the number, is related to the speedo not working.
I think mln01, you are right about recalibrating the computer, which I should look into. There are a few shops here in BC that work on LR. That being said, the dealer in Victoria has been quite helpful in the past. I just find it odd that after 4-years, this started.
Not totally Land Rover related since it still won't get used on my D2 till I complete my powertrain swap, but it will one day.... Winch day! I fabbed the receiver mount last night and got the winch this evening.
Changed out trans fluid and filter or as some call it gender neutral shift juice and added lights on the bumper to match the roof rack. The first picture was the truck I based mine off of from when it was gone stock till now I’d say it’s pretty close
