My 68 reg P400e let me down last night. "Gearbox fault detected" came up on the dashboard and the car lost drive completely. I came to a halt, and was unable to move the car at all. I switched it off, locked it for 10 minutes and then restarted but the same fault came up.

I got a recovery truck to take the car to my dealer late last night and went there this morning to drop the key off. I started the car and was able to select Drive without any problem, and with no warning on the dashboard. As tempting as it would be to just take it home, I left it there for them to look at.

Anyone else experienced similar? 2024 Range Rover P550e AB

it will be interesting to see what they find [or not].. ... - .- -.

Just heard back from my dealer, where my car has been for the last few days.

I was told that they had good news, the car is fine, and just needed a "telematic control module" software update. It's a two day update and they have then carried out an extended road test (60 miles) and confirm that the car is ready for me to collect.

The car had a major service in September (48k / 3 year service) and I'm surprised that this update was not done then, but when I questioned this, I was told the update was only available in November.

I'd be interested in people's thoughts on this? Must admit to being concerned that such a thing could happen at all, and the prospect of it happening again. And on this occasion I was only 2 miles from home, so in that sense, I feel I was lucky. 2024 Range Rover P550e AB

Ha! Your responses made me chuckle - have to agree.

At least it's working fine, and it didn't cost me anything. I was expecting "new gearbox" or something like that. Doesn't fill me with confidence though going forward. Hope it's just a one off. 2024 Range Rover P550e AB
