Can anyone help my RRS 2.7tdv6. Keeps making a very hard thud when I pull away and ask for power at low speed if I push the throttle slowly and gently it don't do it I've taken it back to the dealer 5 times and they keep saying nothing wrong they put a new gear box mountain on but it's made no difference has anyone had this problem and no what it is they took it to the local RRS dealer so they say and told me the box is all changing at the right time and right pressures can nyone help me with this thanks MartinB

Have a look at the ZF troubleshooting guide here:

and scroll down to the page titled: "Step In Delay - Bump (MY05 and MY06)"

Rather than just checking the fluid level you will probably be best advised to change the transmission fluid and fit a new filter. It will cost about £350 at a good auto gearbox specialist or you can even have it done by ZF themselves at their service centre in Nottingham. Not cheap but will extend the life of the transmission anyway - much less expensive than a new gearbox and torque converter. Others will tell you to try a 'MegaFlush' but expert opinion is split over the advisability.

Lubrication of the selector cable is a frequently recommended job and another useful bit of preventative maintenance you can do yourself if handy with spanners.

The software re-flash has to be done by a really good indie or a LR dealership.

Good luck - hope you get it sorted. 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE
