you say it worked better for a short while?
Yes, a couple of miles, walked the dog, then great in the lower gears downhill, let go going uphill on the way home.you say it worked better for a short while?
Diagnostics might show something, other than that it's likely to be a gearbox and torque converter swap.Boys, boys! This silliness is all very well, but what am I going to do about my knackered torque converter and / or gearbox??
Yoda says, Ah, taking the ****, surely you are, young Jedi.If you topped it up and it worked ,see if it needs topped again ,if it does and it works ,you must have a leak on the cooler pipe,take a look at where you drive for fluid on the ground ....RR
What diagnostics, oh wise one? Yes, it looks like that to me tooDiagnostics might show something, other than that it's likely to be a gearbox and torque converter swap.
Nanocom, maybe there is a Landyzone member nearby who could oblige in return for tea and biscuits?What diagnostics, oh wise one? Yes, it looks like that to me too
Thanks, I mean, what are we looking at, since as I understand it the gearbox doesn't provide diagnostic info? So I guess you are thinking about some other system being wrong? Or does the gearbox indeed tell us where it is hurting?Nanocom, maybe there is a Landyzone member nearby who could oblige in return for tea and biscuits?

There is a lot of info from the auto box ECU including engine power. The main thing that worries me is that you say it kind of slams going into gear and wants to stall the engine like there is no slip in the torque converter. Other than that there would be other possibilities than the gearbox/torque converter.Thanks, I mean, what are we looking at, since as I understand it the gearbox doesn't provide diagnostic info?

It really does sound like the torque converter has broken up internally. Maybe only a torque converter is needed, no way of knowing without a strip down.Once he's stalled, if I re-start the engine, as soon as I try to put him in High range Drive everything slams and the engine stalls. I can just about get away with putting him in Low range 4 if I give him a bit of throttle to get past his trying to judder to a halt. This time around he was less inclined to drive in Low range either.
I've just SORN'd him with DVLA, this is going to take a while to save up for and sort

Looking at the drawings, it's possible that it's actually an electronic fault causing the torque converter lock up clutch to permanently engaged. It's an outside chance, never heard of it happening, but it is possible. I would account for the slamming into gear but not the lack of power.I'm thinking / hoping the same thing, as the gearbox seems to work for a while until something else steps in. When you say strip down, do you mean a gearbox stripdown, or just remove gearbox and easy-replace the torque converter?

I really think it needs to go on diagnostics, have a look at the LZIR map and see if there is anyone near you that could come and take a look. It could just be a problem with the ECU.
Any untoward noises from around the bellhousing area?
It could be possible the valvebody seals/solenoids are leaking and it is energising both the forward and reverse clutches at the same time cauing it to stall..
valvebody off and a test would show..
however it would prolly benefit from a rebuild.
