gearbox problem i think???????

Ok I've took the ecu out of the car and its not burnt tbh it looks like its been changed.. I've owned the car 2 months.. When I disconnected it it been to drive better although it wouldn't kick down it was a lot better.. I'm not sure what it is but it's driving me mad live in a area with a lot of horses and bike riders do kick down comes in handy... Some one told me to code find (fault find) using a piece of wire ad the socket by bridging two pins believe 15&18 it would bring codes up on the dash.. When I got the car I know there was no codes and have a print out from land rover dealer... Thanks you for all your help guys I was told not to get a range rover as they crap but its the beat motor I've ever had and you guys are so helpful

The only flash codes you can get are for the diesel engine ECU, not the gearbox.

Ok we'll i can confirm its not a box fault... It's when is gets near the limiter it hits like a limp mode

They never normally get anywhere near the limiter and it's normal for the power to back off if the engine aproaches the limit, it's not a petrol.

first I will check for sticky valve , or faulty soleniod , second is the oil pump that didn,t give enough pressure , all gear oil should be on oil level and not over of under fill ,

I can simulate the fault when the engine is warm if a make it hit limiter it will go in to limp mode and hold it self about 3000 rpm
