Almost certainly one of the hubs or sensors playing up, you need a plug in to tell you whats going on.

As said, it is almost defo your hub thats gone. If it is, you will need a new hub. Jack the front up, grip the wheel at the sides, and check for movement. Its up to you if you want to go the extra for an OEM part, £160 app, or a much cheaper after market part.

Or it could be the Shuttle Valve earth/connection problem. Without connecting to a diagnostic (Hawkeye or Nanocom or similar), you can't say for sure. I bought a replacement hub because "it was almost defo the hub" and it wasn't.

Thanks for replies so is there anyone in Essex area with nanocom willing to help for beer or cake tokens. I don't want to just randomly replace parts would be good to fix the problem first time. Is the shuttle valve earth easy to check.

As said, you won't ever know without finding out what the fault codes are. Find your local garage that know Land Rovers (or someone on here!) and get it checked and reset. If the fault say it's the hub, you'll need a new one (or two in my case!)
It's a DIY job if you research properly and takes an hour or so.
I'd get the lights checked/reset and wait for their return (just in case it's a one off) and then deal. The lights are an mot fail btw so hopefully that is not due?!

I had 3 amigo lights on for 10 months. Mot due so plugged it in and front right abs sensor was faulty. New hub and sensor and the lights had gone off. A lot simpler than I thought it would be.
