We need a like button so I can like Wammers post haha

Don't apologise Datatek, it needed changing anyhow as it was fired. But to make things even better ... would you believe that the presence of the Orange Jacket of the RAC meant that on startup the fault had gone!? He's slapped the computer on it and given it a clean bill of health with no...

Thanks guys. I decided to keep the RR at home and went to Colne today to get a replacement box. However, it hasn't fixed the problem. So the fusebox is replaced, but the error for the Gearbox Overheat still persists. So now the Wife has made me phone the AA to get the breakdown team to assess...

Thanks Datatek, Glad the problem is most certainly the Fusebox. Looks like i'll be sourcing a new one then for now. Edit: Would I kill the car by driving it or will it be fine to drive for a few days while I get the fusebox. I have plans to hit blackpool tonight for the lights (and I live in...

I know ... but I don't have one lol

Thanks for the heads up Sarstad. I don't have any equipment to test the sensors personally. Does anyone know what the resistance should be in a working sensor? I may be able to ask a friend (if I can get hold of him) to check the resistance in the current one, so if someone knows the resistance...

Right guys, it's early doors I know but the sun is up (of a fashion) and I can see. So back to the fuse box I went and removed LR7 first. Plastic is melted! Cack! OK, so the relay is in mint nick and the melt on the board aint too much to look at, but its a fault that I can see. I know LR7 and...

Its a V8 (4.6) I'm willing to check everything I can without forking out to a Mechanic at the moment, but need to get it fixed sooner rather than later :(

Thanks for the link, some interesting reading. As a result I have checked LR6 and LR7, and while the smell of burnt plastic is there the Relays look good. Its dark out now, so I will have to check the rest tomorrow. Will I be safe to remove the relays and/or Fuses one-by-one to check for fault...

Although my manual states the dipstick for the ATF is under the bonnet ... it isn't. Nice. So this hasn'r been checked. As I came here to review the location of it other than under the bonnet, I noticed Datatek's comments. Datatek: The fusebox under the right seat doesn't smell of burning...

Ha ha, thanks for the info guys. "Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms" I nearly pmsl but really smiled with the Google photo lol. P38_Ireland - Thanks for the indepth guide. I will check the ATF today and see if it needs a top-up. Also the battery will be double and triple checked. Is there any...

Sorry, what does ATF stand for??

Thanks for the advice, I will take it out on a long run (don't have a battery charger either :S) How long of a run would be sufficient to charge a battery to max capacity??

While assumption is the mother of all ... I assume it was fully charged. It was a new battery and I don't have a voltmeter to test. Would you advise a long run to allow the alternator to charge the battery???

Hello guys, Wondering if someone could give me some advice on the "Gearbox Overheat Refer Manual" fault. I have changed the car battery yesterday as the previous one died. I ran the car last night for a half hour drive and parked up outside the house overnight. This morning I went to move the...
