2007 XJ diesel gearbox problems

[Andrew peacock]

Hi, I have a 2007 XJ 2.7 diesel with 50,000 miles, during the summer I had a full service including gearbox Oil and filter change, the last couple of days the temperature has fallen and when I start off in the morning the gearbox fault comes on the dash and it stays in 3rd gear, when it gets up to temperature I switch off and restart and all is fine for the rest of the day.

has anyone experienced the same problem ? Please help!

Andy.

Welcome to the club, Andrew.

The engine and gearbox on your car is identical to mine, and I have never had such a fault.  But at a guess it could  possibly be  a sensor .  I am nether a mechanic nor an electrical expert and hope that one does read this post.

Good luck,

Peter.
