OK... sounding interesting. Sounds like a case for diagnostics to confirm? Probably not a job for me to fix though. Thanks for the interesting theory!

Aww thanks, but I should have known / did know the poor boy was low on oil and not happy, but what with my natural laziness and my Parkinson's, I was waiting until I could afford the fluid and filter change I'd already semi-arranged, when the Big Bonk happened. Damn Land Rover for removing the...

Whoo...well thank you! Though I'm remembering his low-oil symptoms from before the Big Bonk, and thinking I'm the Girl Who (May Have) Killed A Range Rover Gearbox By Neglect... so wouldn't be surprised if the torque converter is broken. But if that can be replaced without the rest of the gearbox...

I'm thinking / hoping the same thing, as the gearbox seems to work for a while until something else steps in. When you say strip down, do you mean a gearbox stripdown, or just remove gearbox and easy-replace the torque converter?

Once he's stalled, if I re-start the engine, as soon as I try to put him in High range Drive everything slams and the engine stalls. I can just about get away with putting him in Low range 4 if I give him a bit of throttle to get past his trying to judder to a halt. This time around he was less...

Thanks, I mean, what are we looking at, since as I understand it the gearbox doesn't provide diagnostic info? So I guess you are thinking about some other system being wrong? Or does the gearbox indeed tell us where it is hurting? :)

What diagnostics, oh wise one? Yes, it looks like that to me too :(

Yes, a couple of miles, walked the dog, then great in the lower gears downhill, let go going uphill on the way home.

Boys, boys! This silliness is all very well, but what am I going to do about my knackered torque converter and / or gearbox??

I've had Datatek talking me through my mistakes - he can't be far away from you?

Well apart from taking its temperature, yes.

Topped up the ATF, worked for a couple of miles then back to where we were. Bugger.

Morning Nick. Well done dear! That was the thread, yes, you're getting there, well done! :D

Generally I give them a 'look'.

Thanks :) So will I have tomorrow :) Fingers crossed...

Yes, time to brush up my 12, 14, 16 times tables...10s not being simple enough.

I'm glad I'm not that old, and ten Bobs would never get change :p Well, we might go back to gallons, lbs, oz...omgs...

That's because you live in France. I've ordered 5 litres and we called them a gallon. Don't even mention Brexit! Grrrr.
