An update for you all, took my RR to a local auto gearbox specialist, they ran some diagnostics and road tested it will live data and came back to me to report the gearbox is all fine and doing what it should, no findings or report as to the LUC on the troque convertor, spoke again with the...

Bit of an updated, took the RR over to his mechanic, put it on his snap on diagnostic machine, a couple of faults came up; low voltage solenoid ( not sure which one ) The transmission temp was around 100 degrees, not sure if this is good or bad. Anyway this didn't really solve anything...

Cheer peterboz, tbh I am liking the car so if he offered to go halves on the repair, I would go for that but well see what conversation we have tomorrow.

True, I'll have a better idea of the situation and his stance on the issue after his mechanic has had it on diagnostics, my gut feeling is that he wont want to know about fixing it or taking it back, but we'll wait and see.

Many thanks chaps for the words of advice, the trader has offered to have his mechanic put it on a diagnostic machine to bring up any codes on Monday afternoon, although looking on here I don't hold much hope of a simple fix so can see this becoming a drawn out argument probably all the way to...

Hi Bemble, to be honest, the display pixels are very poor so I only really noticed what it said when I got home, the only thing really noticeable on the dash was no display of D. If you drive it in manual mode, it seems fine and the display shows what gear you are in okay.

the only mention of any problem described an occasional flutter on up shift at low rpm and low cruising speed. To be honest when I test drove it, I didn't notice anything, off course now I seem to get a vibration just before a gear change.

To be honest Bemble, I didn't pay much attention to the display and the pixels are really bad so I only know it said trans failsafe when I pulled over near to home, I did notice that the display showing what gear is selected was not on either. Would this make a difference?

cheers tomcat, It was from a dealer who trades from a home address but is a registered company, I did phone him up in the evening I got home having had to drive back with the trans safe mode, I did say I would prefer to hand the car back and get a refund but what I got was the usual, not willing...

nothing on paperwork/invoice concerning the gearbox, but because we had agreed a price which was 795.00 below the asking price, it was a sold as seen deal, maybe he know the gearbox was on its way and that's why he was happy to agree on the price, I don't know, but now feeling pig sick and faced...

Petrol version.

just over 102K.

Thanks for the advice, I have only done 160 miles in it since purchasing last week, spoke to the trader that sold it to me and I can see a long dispute coming on. He claims we spoke about this at the time of purchase but that's not entirely correct, what we spoke about was a description in his...

i think i will try to see what fault coeds come up if any, then take it from there but my gut feeling is a recon box and TQ.

Cheers Littlewill, had been really enjoying my RR motoring up until this point, now kinda thinking I should have known better and stuck with jap, havnt even had it a week but knew it would not be a reliable as a jap, but heyho. In fairness, when I got home and turned it off, then restarted it...
