Freelander 2, 2012. Owned for 5 years no major problems. When going to start the car, key docked, foot on brake, press start button, a number shows where the total mileage reading should be for a few seconds when the car is cranking and then disappears and the total mileage reading shows as normal, this started a week ago, showing number 29 and each time I start the car the number lowers by 1, it is now showing number 8, anybody any idea what this relates too and what happens when it reaches 0 also any idea on what can be done to fix it ?

Dpf issue and that is the number of starts left before it shuts down?
