''trans failsafe program'' Error on Vogue 3.0 2005 (54)

Hi all,
I am not that new to this forum as I following this since last 2 years, even before I bought my RR Vogue, but just registered my self recently. I am bit lost here with my car as it throws an "trans failsafe program" yesterday. I am experiencing loss of power on my car since long now but yesterday suddenly I got the above error on display. It went off when I turned off the engine at parking and when I turned it on again, it was not there. Today when I left for work and felt the same less power, I tried to put the sports mode, but it went to manual and after getting it back to auto, the error appears again. Here are the following issues on which I need help:

1. RPM is increasing, but speed stays less (espicially on moving upwards) and usually makes a lot of noise too.
2. trans failsafe program getting this error on display since yesterday.(it happened twice since yesterday but will update it again tomorrow if it happen in evening too).

few details:
had the service in October and still 10700 miles left for next service. Daily runner (45-50 miles)
advisories:
1. little leak from turbo pipe
2. since service I can see oil patch under the car bonnet and probably the advisory was right, but before service I never had this patch forming or even the oil drop sighting under bonnet.
Mileage (125612)

welcome buddy, post it in the rr section, there's a lot of talk about the transfer case motor sticking/ seizing. Most unfortunate bodies end up replacing g/boxs because of this... Could shed some light! Good luck.

Hi Mark
thanks for the reply. Actually the thing is that my car is losing power. sometimes it runs fine but most of the time while climbing or running on incline surfaces, the RPM shoots to 3-4 and speed increases slowly. since my last post, the error haven't appeared again but I am concerned that is it just a start or the issue is at its final stage. I spoke to someone related to G/B and they told me to replace it but it will cost me more than 2 grand, for which I am not ready at the moment.

oh ****tles. get this posted on the RR section, youll need some more advice before pocket diving commences from other members who have been there already. mileage, year and model details to the ready. get ready for the eye opening to begin!!!
