SOURCE: i have 3 orange lights on dash tc abs and a hill

HI,

I have a X Reg 2.5KV6 Freelander also, same problem.
The solution for me and many other was to replace one of the speed sensors. They reside in the hub of each wheel and monitor each wheels speed, if one is rotating faster it applies the brake to that wheel (Traction control) Also controls ABS and HDC.

If one sensor fails the vehicle turns off the TC, HDS & ABS.

unfortunately to find out which sensor has failed the vehicle needs to be plugged into a diagnostic PC at a garage. I paid £40 in Stoke-on-Trent to have this done, I then knew which was the faulty sensor and replaced it.

I have a friend who also took out his faulty sensor and cleaned it (WD40 & a wire brush) and put it back in, never had the problem again, although you need to be carful doing this as they are held in place by a copper bush and need to be intact to allow re-fitment.

As a comferting note for you, I drove my V6 for 7 months with the very same fault, just remember you have no ABS or traction control though.

Another trick BUT I DO NOT ADVISE THIS ON PUBLIC ROADS is as follows. get up to 15mph in D on auto box, turn off engine turn back on again whilst still moving, it should cut engine off and kick back in again (just like bump starting a manual car) for me this reset the fault and was good for three months before it went again. But be aware, this is only somthing i tried and it worked for me. it is dangerous to do this on a public road.

I have abs,tc and hill desent light on at same time how do I resolve and are they linked the brake master cylinder is leaking

These are most likely all related to the leak. Replace you master cylinder, this needs to be done. From there if the lights do not go out you need to address those individually.

RPM goes up then down when slowing down

my 07 Tc does this also not sure why, but it helps me brake, could be that it is coming out of passing gear, and going back to last gear

When i step on gas pedal seems sluggish

Before making any suggestions

Do you ever do more than just drive
the car until something happens?

If so, what Preventative Maintenance in
detail, has been done in the last 3 years
altogether (vehicle history)

Any Dash Check Lights on &
have you checked for codes?

Do you have a repair shop you
have used for 20 years, that does
good work?

What engine do you have?

Hesitates when,up hills,between 25 & 40 mph etc

How long has this driveability issue been there?

Have you had it checked out at all by anyone?
