Hello!
I have a 2003 V8 Discovery 2 that went for a swim...
The engine is fine fortunately, bit lumpy but I'm putting that down to a mucky MAF and probably some sooty O2 sensors as a result - No bent conrods or bust valves!
The gearbox however is giving me cause for concern. It's able to go into reverse and drive but won't change gear. Stays in the one gear, slow up to 60mph but gets there (only done this a couple of times to try and get it to drop down)
I've drained all the ATF and yes, it was milky and clearly had a lot of water in it. It's fairly clear now after a cycle of changes and has a new filter etc.
I'm wondering if it's the Bosch Transmission Controller that was underwater too. There are no M+S Flashing lights when it's plugged in but there's clearly some sign of electrical greenery around some of the connectors.
Before I buy a new one, is this the likely cause of the problem? I sort of get what they do but I was under the impression that gear changes occur as a result of pressure rather than electrical signals.... Probably being a bit of a tard here.
Seemed ok immediately after the 'incident' although gear changes felt like aggressive rather than smooth.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers
Si
