My red Service Engine light came on yesterday just before I hit 105k miles. I believe this is an "emissions reminder" and can be reset per the instructions on this site. Anything else to this? The 95 Disco ran fine otherwise.

Jorge-
I have a 97 and tried following the reset instructions on this site. I must have a different module, because I pulled it out and took it apart. I couldn't find the "reset" button, but it looks like it has a battery in it that once dead activates the service engine light. I don't know if that helps but following the instructions on this site may help with an older Disco.

Hi Jorge,
Follow the instructions on this site, except that for your 95 your box is under your passenger seat. |

I believe it is the red box under the passenger seat on '95's . Pull it out and stick a needle in the whole. Wiggle it around and it will reset itslef. |

The box is a brown color and normally has a sticker with "emission maintenance reminder" written on top. This is located either under the pass side seat or in the Rh kick panel. I have found that this module can be thrown away with no adverse results. With it removed the light in the cluster will still prove out on start-up.
P.S. you are lucky you own a disco. On the defender it is behind the relay panel in the center of the dash and in the 4.0/4.6 RR it can only be turned off with rovers diag computer because it is intergrated in the instrument cluster |

Oliver:
what do you mean by prove out..that it will light up on ignition then extinguish? |

Correct, this is normal operation of the lamp when it is not commanded on by the emissions reminder. It will light up for a few seconds along with the other lights and then go out. If you pull it out you will see what I'm talking about |
