Gearbox help - Redrob - 17-04-2014 06:53pm
Came across a fault on the gearbox of my MY13 Dynamic coupe, and I wondered if it's a common problem.
Whilst driving in D, I changed into sports mode and it went into manual it came up on the dash S3, so held the paddle for a couple of seconds to go back to auto, and it changed down to S2.
Go back to Drive and everything is fine, tried to clear it 5 or 6 times, but to no avail.
Has anybody had a similar problem?

Wasn't aware that holding the paddle for a couple of seconds makes it go back to auto. I have always turned it back to D.
Don't think it a fault though.

You say it went down to s2, what sort of speed were you doing? in my experience sport seems to hold the engine at higher revs for a given speed and the upshift points are different.
Also it's only holding the upshift paddle that makes it go back to automatic mode.

I don't think it's a fault. I think the paddle you probably held down is the downshift one (left one), so it did what it was supposed to do and downshifted.
I notice when you shift from D to S on the fly, it normally selects a higher gear rather than a lower more aggressive one so as to keep the revs lower for a more conservative driving style, and less abrupt shifting.
It's easily solved if you want a more aggressive gear change by doing what you did and downshifting

Land Rover assist came out at 7.30am today to take a look..........and rather embarrassing it was in grass/gravel mode, I must have, sorry I mean my wife must have accidentley pressed the button twice whilst coming out of Dynamic mode.
