Hi,
I started out this festive season convinced that the Disco was going to need to go back to the dealer under warrantee. If you gunned it at 30mph it would not change up to 4th at 50-55mph. It just kept trying, like it had hit a rev limiter (but it was the gears) Eventually several tries later, it would get it right, or I would back off and have another go. Now 1500 miles later, a trip to Devon, some off road stick and towing a horse box (with the neddy in) it seems to be OK. If I take it to the dealer now they will say NFF. I am interested to know if this is the adaptive stuff "adapting" and if it is, how many miles/powerups/trips are needed. I am not completely dim with this type of thing and I would go for software or a sensor fault, as when it works it is fine, and this can be for 300 miles ! Oil level is good and it is not temp influenced. It is a really late "run out" Disco II. I would be grateful of any help or ideas.
While I am here - how would I know if my Disco was one of the recall ones with the ABS ECU fault, and if it has been fixed if it was a recall one ?
Cheers y'all
