    HDC is Hill Decent Control, If you have a manual LR then its usually an ABS braking system fault(the HDC works through the ABS).

    If you have an Auto box then the fault can relate to that too.

    A weak battery or faulty charging system can throw the light two, after the engine cuts out and would explain the not starting.

    More likely a charging system fault then the battery itself. Guessing due to the non starting.

    How much is an impossible question as there are such a broad range of things that could have caused the engine to cut out(I suspect the engine died and then the HDC fault came up).

    Your only option is to have it brought to a reputable garage and diagnosed properly and go from there.
