The Range Rover is on the road again, the renovation was delayed by getting the oil cooler to Finland, due to the harbor stevedores' strike. According to the repair shop, the gearbox had clearly been removed from the car, so some kind of fraud is suspected in the sale of the car, but it is...

Good morning Here are the answers to the comments I received, thank's for them. - LiquiMoly TopTec 1800 oil, the reason for that is that I have read on several websites that it fits well in that gearbox and that the shifts go even smoother, and the other reason is that it is difficult to get ZF...

And the story continues: The following works have been agreed with the repair shop and they will start today - Removing and installing the exhaust system - Removing and installing the auxiliary frame - Removing and installing the front cardan shaft - Removing the gearbox and torque converter -...

Well, now the gearbox broke almost completely when I tried to pull my friend's car out of the snow onto the road.The box started slipping and after turning off the engine, it refused to start until it cooled down enough. When the car started, reverse worked ok, but forwards only gear 4 was in...

I came across a message like this on the Finnish Jaguar users' page 04.02.2019: At least Land Rover has had a software update for that problem. I remember the British called it the California stop problem. That is, when you come to a stop sign, you brake and...

I don't know what oil was in the box before I let it be changed, because the previous owner changed the oil when the car had driven 137,000 km according to the service book, without any notes on the quality of the oil. I've been looking for compatibility of TopTec 1800 on the pages of BMW and...

The oil used was Liqui Moly TopTec 1800, which complies with Land Rover 500050 specs, at least according to Liqui Moly. Arto

Wow, now I got maybe too much information about the operation of this automatic transmission. And a little more - why does going into first gear work relatively well with a cold box and get worse as the box warms up. I was thinking that could the operation of some solenoid be temperature...

Hi Phil So, when Reverse works ok the fault can’t be D-brake witch both are using. And when clutch A is also in use with gears 2-4 and they work, it can’t be faulty. My question is that what tells A-clutch and D-brake to work when the car’s speed is slowing near zero. Arto

Oops! it did it again (almost like Britney Spears sang) once. However, I have driven very little and relatively short distances. I didn't notice the error message, but when I continued driving after the stop, only gears 1-3 were in use. When i noticed this i pulled over to the next bus stop and...

And this was forgotten from the previous one: There are no problems using Reverse at all. Arto

Hi Phil Thank you for a really knowledgeable answer. Yes, if I don't stop I can ride as long as I want without a fault. When I next time drive a long distance, when the box warms up enough and the fault appears, I have to try the manual mode. I haven't tried it, so that's what I have to do...

The oil and filter change has now been done and the fault codes have been read. Oil was clear and there were no metallic particles around the magnetic plug's. The car still jerks when stopping, but not so bad anymore and shifting is also smoother. 2 fault codes were found, P0730 Transmission...

Thanks Datek and pwood999.

Problem solved, there is the "Change " button in Destination entry display, witch lets me select the country. I didn't realize that when the only help I had was the user manual in Italian and I don't know Italian.
