When I had manuals the only times I had XY problems was when in an emergency situation towing I had inadvertently slipped the clutch.However having had 2 that did 100K plus I never had a clutch replaced so maybe I was lucky.I am afraid you do not always realise when you momentarily slip the clutch.
I must admit the clutch has gone in the D4 as there is more torque to handle and also because of the D3 issues they had.

Went to an unnamed LR Dealer in Saltash, Cornwall. They quoted me almost a grand for a new clutch plus more if I had to replace the flywheel
I was a little strapped for cash and started asking round non LR dealers and one of them being a former LR Dealer mechanic told me it was the sensor (XY) that tells the Car what gear it is in and it needed resetting. Then he said it can easily be sorted and to do this before doing anything else...
1) Find a long straight and quiet section of road.
2) Select LOW Ratio.
3) Reverse for about 200 yards or until you get the beep and the R on the dash gear number indicator. And then a tiny bit more for good luck. Stop, then...
4) Go forwards in 1st until number appears. Clutch pedal must be fully raised each time.
5) Then up through the Gears waiting for each of the numbers to appear. Do not skip any gears!
6) Stop at 6th, back into neutral, switch off engine.
7) After a brief rest, I took a couple of minutes just to make sure all the bad ju ju was gone and to have a quick wee as it was just all too exciting.
Restart and select High Ratio and you're on your way..
I did this and problem fixed. This (wee optional) resets the XY sensor...
Stevie, you're a genius!!
Had this problem with a relative's disco, been reset by dealer once [80 flipping quid!!] but back on after a couple of months, so left.
Tried your 'fix' ... it worked a treat. Thankyou

Thanks Stevie B.
I found out the hard way last week that if you get frustrated following a dawdling idiot , and in a rush to overtake you slip the clutch, you spend the rest of the journey home from London to Plymouth with an orange brake warning light in your face.
As usual the forum knew the answer and 5 minutes on a quiet Dartmoor road yesterday and another trip to the dealer was averted. That's two saves by the forum in the month i've had the D3.
Thanks all.

Wifes come home from work this evening to inform me "Your cars broke again!" She still hasnt forgiven me for not buying the Volvo XC90
All the things other posters have said. Parking warning light and no gear showing on dash also no beeps when reversing or lights.
Strangely, if I ease the gear stick out of reverse, the beep begins and the reverse lights come on so def seems like a sensor issue.
Will give the self fix a go and post results.
As a Disco virgin, this site is a god send, thanks guys for all the advice.
Jabber No darling I do not want a VW Sharan!!!!

Carmichael,
I am suffering the same issue with my 2009 Discovery. Land Rover are investigating and the dealer is being less than helpful claiming it's my driving style that caused the problem.
Have you made any progress with Land Rover? I would like to hear what your strategy is as I'm not going to take this lying down.
