gearbox was awful on monday, 70 mile drive and shift quality dropped enough to be annoying. its always been a hard shift 1st to 2nd with a light accelerator but fine with a bit more gas so never bothered
multi storey carpark was fun on the way down! it was dropping into neutral on the down ramps.. at least the brakes work well!
been suggested a first check would be to reset adaptions in case they are corrupted.. but after that, could be just about anything.. software glitch/TC failure/mechatronic failure/valveblock failure/bad or low oil
did oil/filter change last year and oil wasn't so bad, but it wasn't a 'megaflush', dunno if that will help or not

Wish I could say the same. What made it worse was it was a simple config change that we did from the car over mobile dataWhat ee said

Last month i laid up my 2 rangegies and flew out to India on my way back to Australia and picked up a tour of west Bengal and Sikkem and then crossed the boarder to Bhuthan where we have a 12 day guided tour so at the moment we are in Thimpho and tomorrow we head out to a remote part of Bhuthan.
When that tour is complete we fly to Nepal for a few days where we have a Helicoptor flight to base camp everest .after that we go to Sri Lanker for a tour then on to malaysia and Sigapore where we take another cruise back to Australia where i will take my Disco 3 and prepare it for a trip to the High country early next year.

That's if you let Google choose the route, I put in way points on a long journey and select the road type.And lots of ways to take you off the road your on, then through the back streets just to be placed back on the road you were on further down

Got damp on the ns roof liner under the visor so removed the roof rail inserts and the top windscreen trim and side pieces. Lots of rubbish and dirt under that lot so all cleaned up and dried out before resealing.pic after it was all cleaned up and before resealing.

Mine did the same it was water coming under the sunroof seal, around through the rotten sunroof frame and on to the underside of the glass and dripping down on to the headliner.
The sunroof glass and the frame separate due to corrosion and it lets water in.

Mines all good there, had it all apart when I did the headliner.
Dropped a big boo boo though.
Washed off the roof rails and windscreen top trim and left them on the drive to dry off, went out unexpectedly in the 110 and drove over the top windscreen trim...its well fecked.

If you managed to get it off without buckling it or snapping those clips that’s a rarity worth acknowledgment in itself
