    Auto gearbox won't shift up to 3rd from 2nd

    The vehicle has done about 160k km. The trans has been flushed and the level checked with the new fluid.

    Auto gearbox won't shift up to 3rd from 2nd

    Hi, I've had a few problems with solenoids on my auto box in my KV6 Freelander 1. All of my solenoids test OK electrically. However, I had a problem where the box wouldn't shift out of first until it warmed up. I fixed that by replacing Shift Solenoid A. The needle valve on that solenoid was...

    Auto Gearbox F4 when cold, clears when switched off and on once warmed up

    Hi, My Freelander 1 V6 with the jatco 506e gearbox has a fault where it will not change out of 1st when cold and then goes into F4 limp home mode. If I drive on a while until the engine temp shows in the middle of the range and then switch the ignition off and then re-start the car, the gearbox...

    Freelander auto gearbox jumping from high gear to 2nd when warm

    It's holiday season here, too much going on to mess with cars! I haven't opened the solenoid cover again yet. I suspect that I have messed with the wiring for the temp sensor inside the solenoid housing when swapping them. At least I hope so. The current behaviour is very consistent. When the...

    Freelander auto gearbox jumping from high gear to 2nd when warm

    As previous posts show in this thread all the solenoids have been replaced. To change the temp sensor, does the gearbox need to come out?

    Freelander auto gearbox jumping from high gear to 2nd when warm

    I wasn't happy with my multimeter readings so I checked again at the barrel connector to see if I could get a reading at any of the multimeter range setting. I started to get readings (other than zero and one) on the 20k Ohm setting. A cold reading showed 1.99 which I guess is 39,800 Ohms. A...

    Meter reads 1 as it would for example with a broken wire.

    Freelander auto gearbox jumping from high gear to 2nd when warm

    So I checked the speed sensor and temperature sensor resistances at the ecu and the barrel connector. The speed sensor values were: Vehicle speed sensor 570ohm Intermediate speed sensor 566ohm Turbine speed sensor 561 ohm All at 20 deg C However, the fluid temperature sensor showed complete...

    Freelander auto gearbox jumping from high gear to 2nd when warm

    I've done the one wheel up test and the VCU allows the single wheel to move. Since then, I have been driving the car regularly and the symptoms can be replicated reliably and consistently. Always better than an intermittent fault! When the car is driven away from cold ( by cold I mean...

    Freelander auto gearbox jumping from high gear to 2nd when warm

    OK, so I changed all the gear solenoids for new ones. The 2-3 shift is very slightly unsmooth. However, I now sometimes go into limp home (F4) mode when the gearbox is cold. I have had the codes read and it show that ratio 2 and ratio 3 are out of range. The mechanic who read the codes said that...

    SRS Fault on Freelander 1

    I've read that the SRS ECU is a one use item. I've also seen web sites offering to clear the crash code data. I've also seen quite a few used SRS ECUs for sale. If I fit a used SRS ECU from another vehicle that does not have any recorded crash data, will it work OK?

    Freelander 1 Cooling Fan running after switching off

    I have recently replaced my gearbox solenoids. Since undertaking this work, I have noticed that the cooling fan runs for some minutes after switching off the ignition. Maybe just a coincidence, but it did not do this before the gearbox work. I generally understand the pre-conditions for the fan...

    Freelander auto gearbox jumping from high gear to 2nd when warm

    I changed Shift solenoid A but unfortunately, I may have been mistaken because it is occaisonally 'flaring' on shifting from 3rd to 4th.

    I'm suspecting Shift Solenoid A Great resource for this gearbox in the attached file.

    Freelander auto gearbox jumping from high gear to 2nd when warm

    Not so fast. I have noticed that all is not completely well. The remaining symptom is that on shifting from 2nd to 3rd the gearbox (very occaisonally) over-revs on disengaging 2nd and then changes harshly into 3rd. It is possible that one of the solenoids I previously replaced was not OK (2nd...

    Freelander 1 tailgate glass closing on top of trim

    The window no seems to function as it should. The top trim frame is very corroded and loose behind the plastic exterior. I suspect that a few closing cycles has bedded it into a suitable position (at least for now).

    Freelander 1 tailgate glass closing on top of trim

    Thanks. I've tried a few washers and all of the adjustment thread available on the bottom of the runners. It sounds odd but I may attempt loosening and trying a small adjustment of the top of the runners. Sounds counter-intuitive but you never know!

    Freelander 1 tailgate glass closing on top of trim

    Sorry but this is not the case. It has been checked and checked again. Is it possible the trim is sitting at the wrong angle? Just enough for the glass edge to catch the trim and slide outwards rather than inwards. The trim looks fin on the outside (plastic) side but the steel backing on the...

    Freelander 1 tailgate glass closing on top of trim

    Hi, I have just replaced the rear window regulator. Calibration was successful. However, as the window gets to the top, it sits outside the top trim. I have adjusted the bottom of the runners as far rearward as they will allow to try to angle the glass forwards but this has not helped. Any...
