  1. ok so I have had a diagnostic run and the only 100% fault that came up was: p0705 Transmission range sensor circuit malfunction - it requested as a fix a software upgrade ....which didn't work. Further investigation seems to be that this changing issue may be the above senor - which LR cannot find on the system to replace, so does anyone know where it is and whether it is part of the transmission ECU and valve block or is it situated somewhere else, and if there is an easily replaced part that can be purchased and replaced etc. LR suggest a full gearbox replacement at £4k the valve block and ECU £1.8k not really ideal given that is not guaranteed to fix the problem. Any help or suggestions on this would be helpful, or even a diagram of the position of the Transmission range sensor - to enable us to check the connections etc. thanks
  2. I have a 2006 Disco 3 HSE (@40kmiles) had been sticking in low gears (when it typically has been running for more than an hour) - not changing up till about 4.5k revs - which must be putting a lot of over reving on the gear box, it only seems to do it from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd - not any of the higher gears, if I use the sport mode, I can change up manually - which to me shows it isn't a gearbox problem...(perhaps) more a clutch or throttle play cable issue? Told Landrover but typically never failed when they test drove it - so couldn't identify a problem, and cannpot fix what they cannot diagnose - no fault coming up at this point. Now yesterday, whilst out on a long drive, it started to stick at low speed again, and then suddenly on the motorway we got the "transmission fault" light, HDC, and suspension lowering warnings come up. So poodled up the M3 at 50 on lowered supension, until we could come off. We then turned everything off and waited 5 mins, by which everything seemed fine, then again after about 10mins, same thing happened. Second time we managed to get all the way home with no errors. Now, having just replaced the whole supension kit in the car and new brakes and dif seal etc, (loads of money!) I really don't want to turn up to Landrover (mum with 3 young kids) and have them give me a long list of things that need doing(and £££££ to do it)if not totally necessary, just because the faults came up etc. So if anyone knows what the gear sticking problem may be, without having to get a whole new gearbox etc, I would be very happy for the help, so I can explain to them what to look for - before they have to take the whole car apart and take 2 days to find a problem ( like last time re suspension, etc, etc)and the labour cost involved. thanks
  3. Hello Have the exact issue as well, accept I have a 06 plate HSE, and not an LPG conversion The first problem I have though which is different is that recently, before the faults appeared, it had been sticking in low gears - not changing up till about 4.5k revs - which must be putting a lot of over reving on the gear box, it only seems to do it from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd - not any of the higher gears, if I use the sport mode, I can change up manually - which to me shows it isn't a gearbox problem...(perhaps) more a clutch or throttle cable issue? Told Landrover but typically never failed when they test drove it - so couldn't identify a problem.
