No the hill decent control button is not pressed in, all warning lights come on then go out, mainly does it when engine cold, there are no warning lights on when it chimes, never had it happen on any of my other Discovery's.

If the temperature is below 4 degrees it might be the 'ice warning' - I know the RR does this (but also tells you on the dash).

There is no issue with your Disco it is a ABS/HD/TC system check, this was a known thing back when these were new,

It s one of those annoying things that you cannot do anything about, but the good news is there is nothing wrong.

Thanks everyone for your replys, good to know that it's not an issue just an annoyance.

Interestingly you don't get the chimes if you start the engine before the lights go out?
