It'll be a Series 2 Disco at a guess.

You need to go and plug it into testbook (or similar).  You've probably just got a glitch with one of the sensors.  This is quite a common problem among Series 2 Discos.
If you are unlucky the problem will keep recurring and you may have to replace a sensor.
I had this happen frequently until we found that the connector to the ABS thingy (on the nearside of the engine bay) was loose.  Fixed by cable tying it tight and not a problem since.

needs to be pluged into a diagnostic computer (rovacom OR auto logic etc) as one of the ABS sensors has either thrown a wobbly or has died,BTW the ABS sensors are just slightly dear as they come in a hub "unless" you find some 1 to get you them as a seperate part & cut n solder them in

ISTR that they are available seperately from LR now . . . . . ie, you don't need the hub as well (well, that's what I got)
