Thread: xtype 2005 jag/ mechanical question

i have a 2005 xtype jag with 27000 miles on the clock
this morning, the engine management came on with the warning, gearbox fault.

no problems getting home, gear change ok and it did not go into safe mode.

vehicle still under warrinty, so no real problem, just interested if this problem is known
could it be a sensor fault

just an update

just got back from a jag main dealer £300 lighter
yes the car came with a warranty, but it seems i have to pay the invoice and claim it back from the finance company.
this arrangement is a joke considering what main dealers charge.
all it was, was a chaffed wire in the gear box sensor.
on the diagnostic it showed transmission fault.

is this arrangement ref warrinties normal
finance company were not to happy with the bill but i told them it could only be rectified by a main dealer.

any comments

Depends when and where you bought it; usually best to take any faults back to the dealer you purchased it from and get them to sort it. If you bought it recently you would be covered by SOGA.
By finance company do you mean warranry supplier and no, you usually get authorisation from them first and they pay the garage direct if they accept responsibility which they usually dont!
