Anyone know what it signifies, occasionally the engine seems to cut out momentarily and it flashes, but what is it connected to that's going crook?

I'm guessing it's a post 1992/3 one with air suspension?

That light is the traction control believe it or not

Shouldn't really come on unless you're in sticky gooey stuff!

Hi No air suspension

Didn't know it had traction control!!

I see from your profile it's a 1988 Range Rover.

Although that link does refer to a post 1990's car with ABS and the later "Hotwire" injection system. As a 1988 I would think yours will be the earlier "Flapper" system.

{edit} I see you put 3.9, so now I'm confused, the theory is still good thoiugh {/edit}

Start by checking sensors, it's a simple system so not much to check.

Whoops - filed to update profile - it's a 1992 3.9 Vogue SE with metal springs

I'll check out what you suggest

Thanks
