Hi everyone,
Odd thing happened tonight when leaving work. I was showing a colleague around the car and the tailgate wouldn't open when i first tried the button - I put it down to user error as when i tried again it opened. Anyway, after showing the guy round the car, I start the car, pop it in reverse and drive out of the parking space. I then put the car in drive and i get a amber warning "gearbox failure' ... yikes.
I stopped the car, locked it and let it sleep for 10 mins. On my return the gearbox fault had gone... yippee!!! I drive away and the car is fine until...... i get to a roundabout by my house with traffic lights on red. Car shuts down as it should with stop/start but then gear moved to park, retracted and car engine stopped with same gearbox fault. Restarted car and same gearbox fault is showing but no real effect on performance. I continue in my journey home.
When i get home i have the same problem with the rear tailgate - it doesn't open on first touch nor does it open on the fob. Eventually it does open after about three attempts. I lock the car let it sleep again for 10 mins and hey presto... gearbox and tailgate fault gone. wtf.
I will leave the car until tomorrow but will call LR Assist if it happens again.
Any one else had grelims?
