Disco 3 dodgy auto gearbox?
Tony
auto box, 30k on clock 2005 year. When coasting at 30 mph the box was
jumping between gears a couple of times a second. When I pulled off
from stationary, the engine revved up in neutral then went into second
and then first gear before engaging and moving off. Any Ideas? I've
never known an auto do this before. (I was in drive all the time).

Well I wouldn't buy it ... unless they knock off about 5k from the
asking price ... ;)
What did the seller say about it?

It's probably the electronics to be honest.
It's still fucked though.

remember the darn question

Probably needs a flush, the boxes seem to develop weird habits like this
after 2 or 3 years unless the box has been flushed, have a search on
disco3.co.uk as there are lots of posts about it. Once flushed and re-filled
they are usually spot on but I wouldn't buy it like that and even if fixed
I'd invest in a good warranty!!

It's more likely to be the selector linkage to be honest ...symptoms
that require flushing are very different.
