So, was on our way back from East Anglia yesterday accelerating away from a roundabout when the car went into 'restricted performance' and 'gearbox fault' came up on the dash. I had noticed not half a second or so before the fault the revs holding at 3500-4000. Anyway, rang Landrover assist and they came out.

Historic codes are simply codes that were triggered but are no longer relevant i.e. the problem has cleared (at the time of retrieving them).
On the U code front, how is your battery? HTH Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 Auto HSE Zambezi Silver |

Was told filters were changed on its last service in January, should be OEM as it was done at LandRover. And Peachy, I was a little frustrated at the time. Called LR assist at 1630 and eventually got home at 2200. I am however very happy with the car. I am aware it is an expensive beast to run but I can't see any other vehicle that can give us the same level of comfort with the same level of practicality. I can't actually see myself in any other car. Plus, the mechanic I spoke to yesterday said his company had 5 cars needing assistance at the time (not all LR) and 4 of them had electronic faults. More things you add to these cars the more problems you get I think. Anyway, what is next Peachy? Audi Q7?? 2010 TDV8 Santorini Black. Side steps done. Remote parked heating done. Next up...Autobiography body kit. 2007 Disco 3 Java Black. Phantom Body Kit. Gone and not forgotten. Love Big Dog. |

Peachy I don't need 4x4 capability , I don't even need four seats , I actually do 4000 miles a year, and yes they aren't cheap to keep on the road BUT what is there out there that compares ? I think if you drive VW and BMW you may not be convinced. My nightmare would be to buy a let's say top spec 5 series and drive off the forecourt thinking "this is nice" , then stop at the first set of traffic lights and a Range Rover of some description pulls up beside me . I find myself looking up at him as he is looking DOWN at me and I am thinking WHAT HAVE I DONE!!!!! .................and then I wake up and it's just a bad dream |

Once upon a time I had the same nightmare - but now I have day terrors - flashing suspension lights - chimes that sound then disappear never to return - have you ever thought - maybe the guy in the BMW looking up once owned a LR product - he's sitting there thinking - look at that mug 16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............

I have never bothered to listen to my head always my heart. Life is quite short and you should enjoy it as much as possible. What is the point of driving an Eco car if you hate every minute of it. When my car runs out of warranty I will not buy an extended warranty but put the money into my slush fund that I keep for unexpected expense. Wish I had done this forty years ago probably have about £70,000 in there my now with all the warranties I have taken out not only on cars
