Any codes? Could be coding like PO300, PO301 to PO306.Fuel filter, dirty throttle body.Maintenance.

Did you test for leaks While the engine was running? Sometimes coolant will only leak when the system is under pressure and up to working temperature. Check the filler cap as these are often fitted with a pressure release valve. This could be sticking and the coolant is escaping as steam.

It is in the console:

Where are you located? Regards, Dennis

use a scanner to get the fault code given and then you do what you have to do.

Ask around, most likely someone you know has OBD code reader for cars. It plugs in under the dash, and can read the code that turned the light on. Or buy a reader from your nearest auto parts.

try changing the transmission control module as it is the unit that reports incorrect ratios and other transmission faults.

You have a job on your hands. Remove rear plastic boot protector then unscrew the chrome bolts into the floor. Next remove side panels and ensure you disconnect light on right and 12v socket on left.The side panel metal brackets are a breeze, but to fit the lower brackets one left and right and one central require you to unscrew the seat brackets into the chassis. I cant see how they can be got at nor can I remove the rear seat uprights to access them so, ive just bothered with the upper brackets. Doesnt move and took me half the time :)

Question edited for clarity. My late mother worked at the Land Rover plant in Solihull and put careful miles on a Disco when it was known as the 'J Car'. Also the first Vogue with a turbo. Long time ago! Information and videos on both codes. https://www.google.com/search?q=2000+Land+Rover+Discovery+2+P1481 https://www.google.com/search?q=2000+Land+Rover+Discovery+2+P1451 ..

Unlikely to be a fuse blown. Doesn't your Discovery have Daytime Running Lights? If so the right side might be a blown fuse. If the rear lights are on, that mean you have the nighttime lights on. My mother worked at Land Rover in Solihull for 12 years. :>)

You can't bypass anti theft systems especially on a high end vehicle like a Freelander. My mother worked at Land Rover in Solihull for 19 years and put miles on the Freelander, the 'Rover J Car) as a test vehicle. Anyway, I digress. The Anti theft system is run by two computers (ECM and BCM), the anti theft module and lots of sensors. You have to fix the issue, not find a way around it. You need an auto electrician. A pro grade scan tool computer can interrogate all the electronics and the computer networks that join everything together. https://www.google.com/search?q=auto+electrician+near+me ..

The 7e8 code is a general code for the Fuel Tank Pressure System and is not a specific diagnostic trouble code. Get the vehicle scanned with an OBD2 diagnostic scanner to check for Trouble Codes. These will give better clues as to what's causing this issue. Comment with the codes and I'll try to help you more. If you have to pay for the scan ask at 4 or 5 different places as prices can be VERY different. On the starting issue have you checked the Battery? A flat, low or old battery can cause starter motors to struggle. Sometimes it is as easy as that. Is it a single click or a faster repeating click? Is it a loud or a quiet click? A single, quiet click could be the starter relay in the fuse box. A louder single click could be an issue with the starter solenoid or it's connection to the starter motor. A loud, fast, repeating click could be the starter motor itself.
