Might be an idea to put this into the Disco section.
Sounds like a wiring issue, check the wires.

hello, its either a duff alternator or a wring problem, the rev counter works off the alternator so it wont work if the alternator isn't charging.

first place to look is on the offside of the engine bay, there are some fusable links and its common for them to rot out causing bad connections.

if i remember rightly the fusable links are thick grey wires and you'll need to check them with a multimeter.

check you are getting 12v to the alternator, if you unplug the alternator (ignition on, engine off), the light should go off, if it does then the charge light wiring is ok.
