Check the large block connector behind the nsr wheel on the chassis rail. It's a common fault area where stone chips bite the cable coatings exposing it to water ingress. Since you have had it disassembled it's the likeliest place in the absence of any DTC's, but inspect the cables carefully looking for any green exposed copper. yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

OK so just bleed thoroughly and use plenty of fluid starting with that dsr one allowing time for the air to pass through. (I always bleed each wheel at least twice for a normal bleed)
There's no ABS reset required but you may ultimately need diagnostics if there's no issue with the wiring at the block terminal.
If you don't have diagnostics a GAP IID is a great investment and will pay for itself many times over yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

Probably generic diagnostics so it won't be LR specific. May get you out of a spot but you will need better if you're going to keep and maintain the car yourself.yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

He reckons its JLR software but you need the correct lead which luckily we have.we used to have mr2 roadsters smt'sand he got genuine Toyota techstreem to programme sequential boxes local mr t franchise use to borrow it as they only had denso kit ( no access to gearbox) I'll give it a go and let you know if it's any good
