I have a 95 Land Rover Discovery. For the past few weeks, ABS light went on, it seems brake is less effactive on braking power on the normal stop. I can step all the way, the car will stop slowly. Hand brake still works well. Also, I have a hard time to shift gear out of parking position. It seems to be locked. If I step brake few times quickly, sometimes the gear will shift out of parking. More over, I just discovered the rear brake lights are not working. Are all of these problems related to the same Anti Lock Brake System? Dose someone know what the real problems are for this car? I now understand why Land Rover named this car as "DISCOVERY"!!!
If your brake lights don't work Its because you blew the fuse which Is located In the main fuse panel under steering wheel. Without break lights your rover will fire up nice but wont shift out of park until you replace the fuse. If your ABS Is acting up It Is also an easy fix. Disconnect the ABS from each wheel. You still got all wheel disc breaks that work great but no ABS. Your other option is thousands of $$. If your breaks are weak check your master cylinder and make sure you got enough fluid and that you are not loosing the fluid. If you notice you are leaking brake fluid because you have to keep filling it up but cannot find a leak anywhere. I bet I know where It is. Check your rear break lines and make sure one of them didn't get caught in your rear springs and pinched ever so slightly when you were doing dounuts In the snow.
Good luck,
The brake lites not working could be the whole problem. could need bulbs or brake switch itself.

There are two fuse boxes. One in the engine compartment and one under the dash on passenger side.
You can find all parts for your Discovery here.
