These vehicles are very picky in terms of electrical system issues. The wrong bulb can make then go doolaly. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Given the trouble that blown or non genuine bulbs cause on these cars why not just treat them as a service item and change them regularly, they are less than £2 each from LR.

An oldie...

Incorrect or blown stop/side light bulbs causing gearbox faults


Quote:
Issue
The customer reports engine or gearbox faults after replacement of the stop/side lamp bulbs or the bulb has
blown.

Cause
The incorrect bulb has been fitted to the rear lamp stop/side holder. The customer may have fitted a single
filament bulb which can be, if forced, inserted in place of a twin filament stop/side lamp bulb. This has been known to cause a number of more significant failures on the vehicle the main one being the gearbox goes into default mode.

Note:
If the bulb has a broken stop/side lamp filament this can also give the same symptoms.

Action
To prevent any unnecessary and expensive repair please carry out a visual check of the brake and side lights before carrying out any further work to the engine and gearbox.
The part number for the stop/side lamp bulb is XZQ000020
