Gearbox problem?

Driving along today I noticed that my G4 has rather sluggish acceleration, especially when pulling away at junctions.

Being an automatic, I then noticed that the gear selector indicator which is usually displayed on the dashboard wasnt there and knocking the gears into sport mode made no difference.

After pulling over, killing the ignition and restarting, all seems to be ok. Is this a known problem and has anyone has a similar experience?

Hi,

You could try the dealers. They can hook your vehicle up to LR computer and do a software update(thats the thing with technology eh? it needs a little kick up the arse every now and then). It may be more than this but definatley worth a shot. You could also see while your there if your vehicle is due any recall work, ask service dudes to put your vin and LR computer and see if it brings owt up.

Sounds like a plan! Luckily, where I work, we have full dealer status for all JLR product. They'll be so pleased to be given the keys and asked to sort it out :D

hi

when i had my D2 auto it did same type of thing if you move to fast from reverse to drive it would go in to limp mode and if i remember right two yellow gear lights would flash on dash and it would stop in thrid gear but would always reset when turned off and back on i was told this was normal for a D2:w00t: hope this helps

Thats interesting because it did seem to be stuck in a high gear and third would make sense. And I had just reversed out the drive.



Thank for that - I think that maybe what happened
