Discovery TDV6 gearbox fault

2006 bought new TDV6. Thought was being clever giving LR time to get rid of teething problems expected with this new model. Loved car v v much at first. Only one ive ever had that i felt passionate about. Then, whilst in warranty niggling problems with brake warning lights, auto handbrake screeching, rear NS light needing replacement bulb regularly. Had 2 safety recalls - the LR fitted tow bar and brakes. Now MArch 2010, just out of warranty and only 50K on clock wont engage "drive". Wont work in manual gear box either.

Local Dealership Hatfields in Liverpool unable to do repair till last week of March - 4 weeks time - NB...this car is off the road as cant be driven!!!. ... Hatfields, Liverpool dealership reports to LR Customer Service Dept it already has a LONG Emergency Work waiting list and only one other dealership reasonably nearby in Preston (50miles) but their waiting list even longer than 4 weeks.

Hatfields the Liverpool Dealership "diagnosed" the problem when car was in on brake safety recall. LR Cust Services agreed job not major and could be done by Non LR garage as out of warranty and they did concede it is totally unreasonable to have wait 4 weeks to get car back on road. Parts needed were supplied to my local garage for job to be done..... but car no different. Hasten to add my garage did not agree with Dealership diagnosis but went ahead with the job in any event as advised .

My garage think its either an electrical or major problem with gearbox. LR now disinterested and unable to help anymore. Dealership willing to have it taken to them on low loader and sit on their forecourt for 4 weeks till they find time to even look at it but Ive no confidence in them now having already misdiagnosed problem and incurred me in unecessary expense and like most people I am very fearful of large bills that always come from a dealership. Anyone else any similar experience or can help in diagnosisng real problem before gearbox is stripped!!!.

gearbox

our td6 has just gone into garage for new gearbox ( manual) just won't go into reverse,after suffering the embarrasssment of having to get it towed out of a parking space so we could get home. We also have had several niggly problems electronic brake not engageing,parking sensors constant bleep even when in forward gear.2 safety recalls. ours also has just gone out of waranty by 3 months 53K on clock loveingly cared for never misused or abused. First quote from lr dearership £7k plus vat after consultation with manager & sales manager left with them to sort out "goodwill"aspect quote now down to £1.5k. have also lost faith in LR our td5 never let us down!

bloomin landrovers

I have a TDV6 08 20K, called out assist x3 for park brake fault. At the garage as I type, they say I may need a new clutch and not cvrd under warranty. Very angry, they want me to auth a £250 + vat strip down (if found not to be down to wear and tear, cost cvrd as is with new clutch). Otherwise, I have to pay for above, new clutch and cost to put bk together. I will not agree auth as 20k is nothing, I have had TDI and TD5 and both never needed new clutches. Any advice from anyone wld be great. Donna

gearbox fault

we have an 06 discovery 3 with 67k on the clock. 5 days ago whilst towing large livestock trailer in farmyard could not select reverse gear. Had to push trailer back with my Husband folloed by the car!! Has been in dealers since then- LR have agreed to replace gear box under extended warrenty- apparently took quite a bit to convince the assessor it was worth repairing !! 5 days later we are still waiting as they cannot source a replacement gearbox anywhere in UK and am told they will get one of the production line- but not making manual cars anymore!! Have now gopt hire car but only for 7 days and as we need the vehicle to tow a signia estate is very little use!!

LR Discovery 3 2005

Hi can anyone help as it seems the LR specialist that normally repairs my car can't locate a fault. The car clonks really badly on the front drivers side,when I go over the smallest bump. Garage replaced anti-roll bar bushels and link rods on both sides but hasn't helped. They said slight play on the suspension but not causing a problem and shouldn't need changing. Cost me over £200 already. Also they have said that the gearbox is really noisy and probably on it's way out another £2740 to replace. Does this sound right?

All light on dash lit up

Just had gearbox and clutch changed on my 05 disco3, all lights on dash now on and suspension in lowered position , been of the road 5 weeks now getting a bit fed up. Can anyone help ?

Discovery TDV6 gearbox fault

I have a similar problem with the 2006 D3 TDV6 Autobox. I have trawled around other sites for information and came across a really good easy fix for this fault. The problem is the Gearlever pivot arm that has corroded. Meant to be easy to fix and very clear instructions provided on the Disco3 forum. The parts cost £15 and can be done in an hour. Just google it.

Dico 3 Vibration

I bought my Disco 3 new in 2006. It has now done 75000 miles. It’s had a few problems but nothing like some people have had, until just recently. I tow a trailer a lot and just recently I became aware of a vibration when accelerating at about 35 MPH. If I eased up on the accelerator it stopped the vibration or if I gave it full throttle it would also stop the vibration. The garage that looks after this car is a LR specialist but not a LR franchise. They have replaced the track-rods, lower wishbones on the front suspension and anti-roll bars front and back but the vibration is still getting worse. Can anyone help?

No Reverse on 06 Disco 3

Just been visited by inability to get reverse on my '06 Manual Disco3.Only 130000Km(80000mls) So annoying when you see all the boasting and bravado about the strength and reliability of Land Rover disco and you cant get it into reverse ...had to be pushed out of someones yard and faced for home!My Disco. has not even done off road.Surely there is a case for LR to answer RE the quality and fit for purpose of their vehicles.Like to start campaign to get them to front up and be honourable!! I am in Ireland. Oh forgot to say I also had hand brake squeling problem and handbrake light on for no reason ..cost me €100 to get light off

06 AUTO DISCO TDV6 GEARBOX

Have a discovery auto TDV6 2006, having problem with going into drive gear,, if i leave the vehicle for a couple of hours it appears to resolve itself until you drive it for a few miles ? love the vehicle ,, but have little faith in dealership... any thoughts please ?

Gearbox Fault

Had a problem with the drive gear not engaging on my 2005 tdv6 auto. Told by main dealer new gearbox required. Spoke to Landyman of Warrington, (in yell.com), and he asked me a couple of questions over the phone, mainly was the auto gear stick a little stiff when engaging drive. I told him it was and he immediately diagnosed a selector fault and quoted me £180 all in to repair. Took him about 1 hour to fix and no problems since. Dont be ripped off by main dealers. Most of them replace and don't reapir because it's more profitable for them and expensive for us. Always get a quote and advice from a reputable mechanic. It is there bread and butter. I've always found it's the gnuine Landrover parts that are unreliable and not the non Landrover replacements.

I had the same problem with vibration on acceleration and after many hundreds spent changing things that were suspect the issue was eventually resolved with a gearbox mega flush. There are only a few garages that have the machine for this. You can look online for a specialist that does it.

Fault

56 plate discovery 3 127k on clock.....recently had 2 new solenoids fitted, re conditioned gearbox and brand new torque converter. My symptoms started of with automatic transmission light coming and engine making strange noises. next to happen was the rpm not reacting. To the accelerator, what I mean by this is the rpm would be between 3000-4000 and my foot wouldn't even be close to the floor. Cost me 2700 plus va I now have a new issue in which when the car is between 4000-5000 rpm and I take my foot of the accelerator as it's dropping I heard a loud bang noise almost. I almost at my final straw with this car as I have invested so much already and it's still not working as it should be. Is this issue related to the work I had done? Or something completely different? I am based in Liverpool if someone could give me some information on the issue I would appreciate it so much. Please feel free to email me also Thanks Dan
