What is your question?
When making a right turn or driving over a rough/bumpy piece of road, the traction control system slows the car down (light comes on the dash board too). Has anyone else experienced this and/or know of the reason and the solution? Many thanks.

Have the ABS module scanned, The traction control is operated through the ABS system, and when it notices a fault it will ask the engine control for reduced power, because it cannot control the issue.
Great, thanks for the advice, I'll get it checked out.
Have you had you computer checked for error codes? Autozone does this for free. Once you get the codes you can google their meaning.
Auto Zone can't read the ABS codes from the module. All they have is a code reader.
Had the car into Land Rover and there are no faults registered. Had the front nearside wheel hub and sensor replaced. Still got the same problem. Land Rover chief mechanic says he has never come across this fault before but his instinct tells him it could be the ABS ECU (SLABS unit). Got a used but working replacement arriving tomorrow so keeping everything crossed.
Can't cross my eyes but hope.
Replacement ABS ECU didn't fix the problem. Put the original ECU back in and the ABS light now lights up and stays on. Disconnected each ABS Wheel Speed Sensor in turn and took the car for a short run each time. Fault still there until I disconnected the right hand back sensor. Took the car out and no fault (apart from the ABS, Hill Decent and Traction Control lights showing on the dash but that seemed to be the result of the connection being broken). Re-connected the sensor and fault returned (just the ABS light showing). Ordered new rear ABS sensor so hoping this will do the trick.
Sounds good. Sorry but that should have showed up in live data whe driving. Hope it works
Just a quick update, brakes finally fixed, it was the rear right hand side ABS/Wheel Speed sensor - runs fine now. ECU actually showed this to be the fault too (now that it seems to have re-booted itself into action). Thanks to everyone for their help here.
Figured an easy fix when you found it. Good Day
