Check the battery voltage and possibly try a hard reset.

Try a hard reset.

I would then see what fault codes you have.

I’m assuming not quite dry as the engine is running from the rev counter.

Obviously, it was very much a tongue in cheek comment.

For the meanings you will need a diagnostic reader, i would start by making sure the battery is fully charged.

Dear All,
My Disco3,HSE 2005 diesel has again the same issue of loosing all drive then I have replaced the auto gearbox with an used one and so far car is moving with limited speed 3 and displayed F ( loss of power) with message Transmission faulty and engine system fault. I have to restart the car and everything comes to normal but when reaching the 3 gear while driving the message pop up again. Kindly I need more guidance on this issue. Torque converter replaced and tried to clear the fault with the scanning tool but no success

Any idea will be helpful

Did you program the gearbox megatronics with your cars vin number after fitting ? Gap iid with support can do that

Alternatively use you old black megatronics unit

Thank you for your feedback , we were not able to program or coding the gearbox megatronics simply because none was expert by doing that. So what we did I asked to use the old one from my auto gearbox which is giving me that message of F transmission faulty and lost of engine power. in addition to that oil has been top up whenever we replace the megatonics. Before we changed the torque converter,the code was P0741. No more code we are getting now.

Once more thank you for your inputs

Derrick,
