Hi
My xk8 comes up with gear box fault and goes into fail safe mode only when it has been running for at least 50 miles and if you let it cool the next day it's fine had new gearbox 4000 miles ago seems to be temperature related but does not come up with any faults. On diagnostic test could it be temp sensor if so why would it not show on diagnostic
Any advise would be great as I don't trust it now to get me home
