I had the same thing happen to my 97, the dealer told me it is a service reminder. There is a small electrical box behind the passenger side kick panel. This "box", has a LR sticker on the top side. The sticker covers a couple of little holes. If you insert a small screw driver in the hole, you short the contacts and the red service engine light will go out. Along the wall there are a number of electrical relays and towards the back, but still on the side wall you'll find the box. Mine was light brown color. rick |

FYI, mine came on too at around 84K when I was going across country....funny, same as yours....followed the procedures on the above reset instructions and it went off immediately and probably saved myself $500.00....on which I will probably spend on some other Rover Part---Happy Trails, BB |
