*sigh*

Yeah. I know. I have two diagnostic readers, for cars we no longer own. I don't have one for the Discovery (yet). I know how they work, I know what they can reveal. I also know that a low urgency warning like this (compared to the 710 light or the temp gauge) probably means that some sensor has failed to check in within the expected tolerances.

Which sensor? Who knows. It recently passed the emissions test. I checked the fluids, which needed topping off, but were not in the danger zone. I'm just weary that something else needs fixing. And this something is important, since it's our wheels to work.

As for looking up the codes after I read them, I expect either the manual with the reader, or the factory shop manual (2 inches thick, ~$75) or the intarwebz will provide that tidbit. Then, after all that, I'll need to get the widget and install it. Or them. Or, break my second best screwdriver prying out the old one, smash my knuckles, cuss and smack my head and cuss some more. Then get another specialized tool, hope I haven't marred the socket for the thingy, install it at last, and find out the light remains illuminated.

Then take my box of parts, and my bruised vehicle down to the local Land Rover mechanic (to whom I still owe money), leaving behind the scorched and smoking ruins of my mechanical pride and throw myself on the mercy of the garage. "Yeah, I need it by Monday. No, I don't have any more hundred dollar bills, why? Yes, I know where the bus stop is." I'm not looking forward to that conversation.

Bitter much? Not really. I'm just not recharged after my recent doubleheader with the fridge and the dryer. Shit, the washer was supposed to be next anyway.
