Hi.
I have a Discovery3, model 2009 HSE diesel.
The car is lovingly maintained by previous owner, and before him the LR garages.
My problem is so singular that the LR people here, in Norway, have never heard of it and have sent the case forward to LR engineering.
It sounds stupid, but bear with me:
I took a short drive inside my neighborhood. The motoroil light in the dashboard started flicking on and off. And at the same time the seatbelt warning light came on, including sound.
So I took the car directly to the garage, which is conveniently close. -I reported both of the alarms, even though I did not expect the issues to be connected.
They came back to me and said they could not get a clear reading, but that the DPF alarm was also on.
Now the car went to the local LR garage. And after some wait, they fixed the issue(s) -including changing the sensor that activates the motoroil alarm. But when I went to pick up the car I only drove about 100 meters until the motoroil light and the seatbelt warning came back on. So I returned the car to the garage.
Now the mechanic at LR has confirmed the connection between the two alarms, including that the motoroil light disappears when the passenger seatbelt is locked… -But that trick does not always work anyway, so it is not a solution.
Now this sounds like some failure in a connection point that both alarms share, such as the dashboard.
Has anyone heard of this issue before, and how it was -hopefully- fixed?
Thanks for reading through my ramblings,
