Well, after a trouble-free run in my '03 LR the ABS, Brake and Battery warning lights came on all at the same time. Needless to say I am taking it in first this tomorrow but can anybody suggest ideas of what may have happened to make them light up? If there's a thread on the topic I'd appreciate a link.
Eddie.

Sounds like the old battery may be on the way out mate, unless it has already been changed.

Well guys, I'd had every intention of driving it to the Dealer first thing this morning but "Old Gerry" barely cracked over and the warning lights were still showing. It didn't cost anything to have it taken on the back of a tilt-try and after being at the Dealer's most of today and I can tell you that they concluded that the Starter Motor had *%$@ itself and it had also drained the battery. As to why the ABS and Brake Warning lights had come on, that's still a mystery and not just the Battery warning light. I'm surprised though that a Starter Motor should only last 60k.
But the way the car drives is so much better. I'd suspected that something was "amiss" as it really wasn't driving as smoothly as "I" expected it should and now all those little idosyncrasies have now disappeared. So, after lightening my pocket, she's all ready for the drive to Melbourne. BTW a OE Starter Motor costs an absolute bomb though!!!!!
