just a update i tried ecu but still no good!!!! i will try another avenue? :mad: :mad:

thanks for the reply ming, i have spoke to lr and explained fault codes, but they said they cannot soley test the EAT ECU. and rather than spend £80 plus vat for diagnostics, i think i will just get hold of a eat ecu and try that.

thanks ming, i have seen new ecu's for the jatco box for 75pounds, does this sound cheap

Good evening ,thanks for the replie. I dont understand either, but the fault codes corresponding to 3rd, 4th and 5th gear arent a suprise , because it is only these gears that are affected. What was strange was that when i picked up car this afternoon it drove okay for a couple of minutes and...

Well just a update if anybodys reading, I changed gearbox oil - NO GOOD!!!!! I took the car to a garage my friend owns, (he is not a freelander expert, but has diagnostic gear) and several faults appeared, as follows- p0740- lock-up clutch solenoid p1605- A/T ecu eeprom error p0734- Gear...

thats for the advice. i have been reading many threads on this subject, posted by you, ming, mondo and clucthdust. i must say you have all help me understand my car a bit more and i dont think i will give up on her now!!! thanks

i am not going to panic ,i will see what happens when i change the oil,by the way, the oil was 40pounds for 4 litres. rik if your reading this dont panic ,maybe check the level in the box, topping up may cure the problem? nothing to lose!!!

I am no expert, but i dont think that the jatco box has a clutch , it has a torque converter. so i dont think its the gears that slip, but someting to do with the torque converter.I might be wrong:confused:

Rikki, i find that when driving all of a sudden engine revs rise with no impact on drive.

okay i get it now. Quick question? do you know anything about the speed sensor , as i have had f4 flash up when slipping was really bad.

mad hat man , not sure what your thread means?

not sure rikki, i thought at first it was engine management playing up but it is now definatly the box slipping . i am going to change oil tomorrow and see what happens? i have heard that some people have topped up oil and slipping stopped, but you do not top up oil like conventional boxes...

Thanks for the quick response. I shall try to change the oil tomorrow and let you know the outcome. Seperate question - have you disconnected your egr vavle?

Thanks for the replies! In replie to ming , the gear box is definantly slipping as it goes well from first to second, but when it goes up from that it slips badly, also i have noticed that when i use the manual step it is fine in 2nd< but when i put it in 3rd,It does engage but slips badly...
