2012 Range Rover Sport SDV6 Autobiography Fuji White

MY12 Gearbox Rotary Selector Failure

Folks

I refrained from posting about this 2 weeks ago as I put it down to a 'new car glitch' however, having had a second 2.5 hour wait for the AA recovery to turn up last night I decided it needed some publicity!

The problem is that the rotary dial on the gearbox locks. It gets stuck in any of the functions (P, R,N,D,S) although it seems to be mostly in park and reverse. The dial physically can't be moved either way. It seems to try and reset itself by dropping down partially then coming back up again, it does this twice. When you press the brake it occasionally clicks as if it's trying to reset too.

Videos to follow!

A worrying problem Jonathan, especially on a 50K+ car!

How many miles have you done? Was there any warning?

...try £70k car...

Apparently it was a known fault on the Jags about 2008 when they took over this type of rotary selector but was solved. I honestly just think it's a faulty unit which needs replacing but the dealers have to agree!! Jaguar XKR Convertible

Jim4224, have only done 1600 miles, first problem at about 700 miles.....

Spoke to dealer tonight and they have preordered in a new module. They have diagnostics this time which they didn't last time (....?) so maybe we will have proper progress before the Easter weekend? Jaguar XKR Convertible

I honestly think it's a one off, the unit has been changed, they are test driving it for a day and all being well I will be picking it up tomorrow! Keep your fingers crossed for me! Jaguar XKR Convertible

Thanks alanad. Both of the AA guys who picked me up said the jags had the SAme problem.... Unfortunately land rover dealer didn't either believe me or feel the need to look into it first time round... Jaguar XKR Convertible
