I started the rangie up the other day after after it has been standing for a month or so whilst i changed the steering column. Straight away from start up i had the red gearbox oil temperature light come on and flash repeatedly. Obviously there is no way it was over temperature as it came on straight away and i don't think the cooler would be blocked as again, it happened from cold.
First thing i checked was the oil level and the smell. A little below the max mark but nothing to worry about and the oil was fresh and clean. I took it for a run up the road incase it needed to settle down. I selected all gears and put in and out of low range and diff lock but no change to the flashing light.
My instincts suggest a faulty sensor or bad connection somewhere but surely that would show a solid light. All the searching on the internet i have found has been a solid light.
I am not overly familiar with auto transmissions or much about range rovers. Is there anything else i can do/ check before i spend £40 on a new sensor? I dont like playing shotgun with parts really
