ok guys put a few posts up about my discovery 2 auto box but still no closer to finding an answer. Gearbox is working fine going up and down the gears but it doesn't go into throttle lock. It's had new oil and filters, I've done stall test etc etc. I have noticed it goes into throttle lock sometimes when it's raining ( not as well as it should but it does do it ) is the throttle lock controlled by ecu or a solinoid that might be sticking. Please help before I hit it with my left bollock

Check the loom for chaffing, sounds like the lock wire may be broken, I am 75% sure it works by grounding.

Do you mean torque lock? That is a function of engine and road speed. Controlled by the gearbox ECU.

It's the loom to the box you need to check XYZ switch only tells the ECU which mode the box is in.

Can't see anything wrong with wiring, so here goes another silly question. Just put a volt meter across the battery and get a reading 12.2v before I start the engine. With the engine running, lights, heater on I am getting 13.6v. Could my problem be lack of power as some people are getting over 14v with engine running
