I have a question for you guys. I’m very familiar with the LR two dealt with almost every issue, but this is a new one.
I had the three amigos pop up, but I’ve noticed that and I have an extensive code reader but the problem that I’m finding out is that when I turn the air conditioning on, that’s what I’ll turn the three amigos on turn it off come back and after the car sat for a little bit everything‘s good. I’m gonna assume that has has to be some type of voltage issue that’s causing that any thoughts?
I'm assuming the battery is good? That's the most common cause for electrical gremlins in this car. Test it properly, or if it's 5-6 years old, just replace it.
Yes most likely voltage related. You can put on a meter on the battery terminals with engine running and see what the voltage is at idle with AC on and AC off.
I'd try it stone cold, and as well as warmed up.
Roughly, in general for 12v automotive systems I'd expect 13.5-14.5 V with engine running after start. If the AC drops it much below 13.2 that could be a bad alternator. If you download the shop manual for the LR2, it has more detailed instructions.
Other than that, the most common cause of Three Amigos is a bad wheel speed sensor. That should throw a code though.

I had so much turkey I can't even remember WTF is the "Three Amigos."
I didn't even get any damn turkey. Three separate events last week with different friends and family, all of whom decided to "do something different this year", which amounted to roast beef in all three cases. If I start mooing, that's why.

Roast beef? Beef was meant to be cooked in a proper Argentinian parrilla that I built for myself. Still not finished, have to mortar the sides and my wife will be putting some ceramic tiles for decoration. She still won't eat meat but we can still grill veggies.
The black grill/smoker in the background is available for free if anyone wants it. But you have to get your own grill grates. I'm keeping those..
