Hi all,

Not sure where to it this so I thought I'd try here.

I have a beautiful 2003 RR Vogue TD6 with116000 miles on the clock, which has started to flash up the dreaded TRANS FAILSAFE MODE!

It's just had a new compressor for the air suspension and the driveshaft had not been done when they were recalled, so that has also been done.

When I bought it 4 years ago it needed a new battery, as it was flashing up all the usual faults!,

The fault started whilst I was towing my horse up a steady incline, and it did not want to change from 4th gear. When I stopped and turned the car off, it cleared and I managed to get home.

However it came on again the next day, after driving the car for around 15 minutes. So it was taken to a garage and the oil was changed, after reading on the web the sealed for life was not such a good idea! The garage said the oil did smell burnt and they suggested a new transmission. However I have read this is not always needed.

I've had the faults read and it's come up with a long list-

Transfer box

5212 battery under voltage

52F2 INSTR 3 lost from CAN

52ED INSTR 2 lost from CAN

52E9 DME 2 lost from CAN

52EB DME 1 lost from CAN

52E7 ASC 1 lost from CAN

52EC ASC 2 lost from CAN

52FOH/21232 unknown code

52E8 EGS LOST From CAN

52F3 EGS LOST from CAN

Gearbox

37 Gear monitor 5 fault


Once I had these cleared it came up with -

Gearbox

37 Gear monitor 5 fault


If I drive the RR in manual and never use 5th gear, I don't have any problems. Also on some mornings, when it start the car, I have the HDC INACTIVE warning? Anyone got any ideas?? Help desperate female!

Thanks

Jane
