big thank you to Land Rover Roadside Assistance UK

7am today was driving my Range Rover L405 and suddenly the dreaded amber warning triangle comes up on the display!

a) Hill Descent Control not available - system fault

b) Stability Control not available

c) Emergency Brake Assist not available

drove very carefully back home and called Roadside Assistance and explained the problem - i was offered an AA visit within 1 hour or a Land Rover visit within 2 hours

chose Land Rover as they know the cars and carry commonly needed spares parts

they also said even on Christmas Day if the car could not be fixed at home they would deliver me another 4 x 4 today

guy arrived early having driven nearly 60 miles - immediately after plugging in his pc diagnosed the problem as a brake pedal switching module

basically the car 'thought' it had no brakes so this lead to the other fault codes

the module is fortunately used on just about every Land Rover so a spare was available and fitted within about ten minutes

i had to go and drive about five miles and use heavy braking so he could test the brake temperatures to see the new module was working perfectly

i have knocked Land Rover in the past but for any day let alone Christmas day the service was exemplary
