Gear box fault light

well it had to happen. Got my first warning light this afternoon, gear box fault.

Dealer says they have had a few issues with this already, apparantly a software issue that needs a new disc still? Did seem like a trigger happy fault to me as the minute you turned the car off and on again it went away Question

well, i have had wonderful week in a new freelander 2 Big Cry Big Cry Big Cry

my car she is faulty. What started out as a gearbox fault has now gone to faulty throttle peddle and a car that just drops to 0 revs whilst driving below 30 mph whenever it feels like it.

Needless to say there is no fix yet Big Cry So, i have had my car in the dealership more than I have had it at home which is really Censored annoying!!

I suppose one positive is that the door rubbing strips and the privacy glass is on Smile

I will keep you all posted with the updates

a whopping 42 miles, so really disappointed to tell you the honest truth. I just want to get my own wheels back. I have not even had a chance to get out onto the open road yet!

Anyway, lets hope they get something sorted this week or I am going to stick my foot up someone's Censored to give them the hurry up!

Past experience seems to show that Disco3's either gave very few problems or were "lemons" Shocked - might be as well to think about it quickly, and look carefully at the requirements for rejecting motor vehicles (trading standards may help with advice) Crying or Very sad
