The Td5 engine, along with all its electrickery does like a good battery - although I've had duff batteries on both my D2 auto and 110, the M&S lights have not come on at the same time on the Disco.
Can you borrow another battery to try ?, before forking out for a new one (get the biggest CCA rated one that will fit in the space)
As for the M&S (Manual mode, and Sport mode) lights, I've had them come on a couple of times - on each occasion the 'box has gone into limp-home mode (it sticks in 3rd and won't kick-down), but after a reboot (ignition off, and back on
) the problem cleared.........this was whilst the truck was still under warranty, testbook showed that a 'fault' had occured, but whatever was faulty wasn't anymore.
