My battery went totally dead in two days to the point of needing to enter the key code, charged the battery etc and away she went but I have the abs, brake warning and traction lights on on the dash, also the brake pedal travels about half way down, there was no problem before the battery went down, any ideas please?

The abs, brake warning and traction lights on are due to the brake pump not running. This could be due to a relay fault, duff fusebox, or the pressure switch on the pump.
Did you jump start it?

Hi no its a 4.6 petrol auto, the battery was charged to start it, what could a jump start have done?

Have you checked for a actual leak? The two may not be connected

Range Rovers hate being jump started...you must use the exact procedure in the manual else they could throw a wobbler....hell, even if you do use the right procedure they still like to throw a wobbler at times!

Hi no the brake system is sound as a bell, when I went to charge the battery I inadvertantly switched the charger to starter position for a couple of seconds

You need to put it on diagnostics.

Have charged it many times on the car with no problems, diagnostics around here aren't easy, have tried two local land rover specialists and neither could get their gear to communicate with my range so struggling
