Cant believe this has happened. Recently purchased a TD5 2003 Auto. Drove it home a treat and ran it about for two weeks. Collected a horse trailer and towed it up the motorway with no problems - faultless..... Then after parking the trailer the damm thing refused to change gear, dropped into 3rd and 'limped' home. M and S lights flashing as well as the LED light saying what gear it was in....I can hear you all saying xyz switch... Took it to a Landrover specialist who plugged it into the diagnostics machine - he too was convinced it was the switch, but it wasn't his next thought was some cable that wears inside the box but that too has been crossed off the list. The box is leaking oil like a sieve and took 4 litres. It appears the transfer box has been off and the wrong bolts have been used to but it back together.
Does anyone have any other ideas???? And as a last resort has anyone ever put a replacement box in a TD5 how long did it take and of course how much will one cost?
Beginning to wish I had taken the advice offered and brought a bloody Landcruiser
All suggestions really appreciated the damm thing cost me £6500 wished I had never seen it
