4 faults at once

This morning four faults came up at once, they must be linked to one LRU not working. Does anyone know what would give these four faults:

HDC caution light on
Brake pad caution light on
Terrain Select System faulty
Cruise control not working

Still driving round with all four faults, not prepared to give 100's £ to Landrover when it is driving ok. But I still can not work out what broken LRU would give these faults.

You need to pay LR to plug your Freely into a diaognostic machine to find out where and what the electrical errors/faults are and how to get them solved. Maybe the system just needs resetting and there is no real error and no repair needed Whistle

Does seem strange though that you can afford an expensive vehicle, but not a few quid to get it repaired Shocked 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Could it be similar to the "three amigos" on the earlier Freelander 1 ?

When the brake light switch goes faulty three lights come on on the dashboard, suspect it notices a change in brake pressure and that the switch has not operated, symptoms are:
HDC fault light - brake switch linked to HDC function,
Traction control fault light - again uses brake switch,
ABS fault light - uses brake switch
Also cruise control does not work as the brake switch is used to cancel cruise control
last but not least, motorist behind rams you up the **** because brake lights are on all the time / off all the time. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her
Replaced by Ewok what a mistake - now a happy Disco Sport owner

The trouble with the new freelander is that it is so over engineered. Nearly all of her systems are reliant on each other to work that as soon as one part goes down it can directly effect another and so on with out there actualy being anything wrong some where else

Thanks for that, the brake filaments are ok. I know when I go to my dealer I will be booked in two weeks away, have to take the day off work, they will then charge me several hundred for diagnostic and replacing a £2 bit of plastic. I was warned befor buying a LR and didn't listen to the advice.

They will not even tell me what faults cause the "brake system (yellow)" warning light to illuminate. Does anyone know. This isn't about money.
