   Hi There,
   Your problem is not unique.  Many other Disco II owners are complaining about "all three lights" being erroneously activated.  LR has issued a recall and, unless you have not received a recall notice, you should contact your dealer.  
   
   Note:
   It would appear that the SLABS ECU recall (?) is not easy to execute.  Many owners are going back to the dealer after being serviced by the recall.  Something about leveling sensors failing and sending the wrong signals.
   
   Here is something I read on the internet:
   
   "At time of the SLABS upgrade they found that the ECU would not accept the upgrade. They found that the rear of the vehicle was not level, out by about 5mm on one side, once they sorted this out the SLABS upgrade the worked fine. It is too soon after the upgrade to know if it has fixed the problem."   This owner had to take his Disco back into the dealer once again...they finally fixed the problem.
   
   Finally, To reset the codes, you can disconnect the negative cable on the battery.  It clears out the error code buffer and waits for new faults to trigger.  Security code will have to be re-entered for radio CD player.  
   
   SO to answer your question,  yes I think this is a common problem with Disco II's.  Older Disco's have a different ECU and ABS system.
   
   Keep after LR about this recall!
   
   Best of luck,
