Gearbox failure?
As I was leaving a car park this evening I got a clanging noise from the front end when on full lock, and shortly after I lost drive and a grinding noise started coming from the transmission. Limited traction remained and I was able to limp out of the way of the exit with the car acting like the clutch was slipping massively. When I put the auto box in park there was a crunching noise.
No warning lights on dashboard, and nanocom plugged in faults were showing as a speed sensor on gearbox and speed sensor on engine ECUs. Now nanocom is showing nothing and giving me a blank screen when I connect it so even that seems to have died on me.
Car is a MY07 HSE Auto. Currently waiting for recovery. Whats the bet on what has gone wrong?!2007 Discovery 3 HSE
