So my mechanic friend was extremely busy today but had time to scan the transmission. Here are the codes P0730-00 intermittent incorrect gear ratio U0155-87 permanent loss communication with instrument cluster control module P0735-00 intermittent gear 5 incorrect ratio P0729-00 historic gear 6...

So after a sleepless night this morning I started the car no warnings at all. Battery tested. Ignition off 12.7 Ignition on 14.7 (also with headlights on) My friend can't read the codes till later on this afternoon. Not sure what image you want to look at on the secret menu but here is an image...

Looking at a diagnostic tool what are your thoughts on the autel ap200. Don't think I can afford a gap iid as I've just lost out on £££ cancelling a few days away

Is the menu where you hold top centre of the screen and input 753? Thinking about the starting issues I've had when I was getting the special programmes not available ( which I haven't had for some time) I had the battery replaced through kwik fit but still had the issue. Been using the car...

I don't have a sunroof but do have a sat nav/ 4x4 screen. I'm happy to do a few bits on my own depending on complexity. First thing in the morning I will check the battery voltage but I will pop to my local garage who will happily read the codes for free as I know them fairly well. Will codes...

It feels like my issues are related. Unpacking the car now and will go into it tomorrow when I have a clear head. Also when I was going uphill and the fault popped up my driver window came down by itself. I put it back up but came down again. Transmission error is really worrying me. Safe to say...

I think I'm going to get rid of my discovery 3. Having no starting issues recently and having not had a family holiday in a few years we booked a few days away. Set off this morning and 1 hour into journey bong..... Transmission fault limited gears only F on the dash ( no hdc error or park...

Thanks Don't think I explained my question right. Before I got my battery replaced the error was coming on. After new battery it still comes up. Now could this be because it's a historic error and will keep coming on regardless until cleared. My thoughts for this is because it instantly clears...

Yes I'm sure it's the correct size. Waiting on delivery of the volt meter but I was wondering if this is a stored code error. Does this happen if it's been an error prior to a battery change and not cleared after a new battery fitted? It's only ever on the 1st start-up of the day even if I turn...

Checked interior lights all seem to be off correctly but I've turned them off to see if that makes any difference. Will order the volt meter reader. I was told the battery was fully charged when fitted. The error just flicks on for a mili second then clears going to check for anything stuck in...

Thanks for the reply. I will check interior lights tonight I don't have chargers plugged in or a dash can only thing I have plugged in is an aux cable which I leave in all the time. Wouldn't of thought that would cause battery drain would it?

Hi all. So since having the starter replaced i haven't had any issues with the car starting but do have a strange gremlin I'm hoping to pinpoint. On first start-up of the day I get special programmes not available bong but it instantly clears and can use the programs select as normal. As...

Thank you Yeah I was expecting something else to be wrong. Garage checked battery and earths as you suggested and all was good. I'm lucky to have a good garage I can trust.

New starter fitted this morning. 1.5hrs labour and the car starts perfect now. Once again a big thanks to all who gave advice it truly is appreciated. Car is in good health I'm on the mend so all good. Until next time, undoubtedly there will be a next time as it's a disco :) Stay safe Jay

Thank you for your input. Everyone who has commented has helped so a big thank you to all. I've learnt a lot from this thread which lead me to do loads of research on batteries and starters which has kept me occupied. Let's hope Thursday goes ok.

Update My local garage agreed to pop round to my home and inspect my car. The battery tested slightly low. However the mechanic stated the sound I'm hearing is in fact the starter not engaging. He stated in some cases the flywheel could be damaged also but this is very rare. Thanks for the...

Just as a reference to the noise I get when starting it's exactly the same as in this video (at 2.40 into video) the winding sound. 1st port of call in the morning is battery check.

Sorry another question. As my battery read 12.2 could I take the car out for a run say 30 mins then test the battery on return and then leave over night and test again. Just looking at options I have or would this be pointless?

Thank you for your time and explanations. Will start with the battery hopefully tomorrow. My local garage are very good always taken my cars to them when needed so hopefully they can help me out. They usually inspect my car without charge as long as I give them any work. Will invest in a...

I have a lifetime guarantee on platinum plus with kwik fit on the battery. As the car won't start always I'm worried to take it out. Im going to ask my local garage who I get along with if i can take the car into them tomorrow evening and ask them to charge the battery over night as I have no...
