Hi

I am new to the site and have registered because i have a problem. I have a 2009 5L V8 Supercharged XF which has only done 122,000 kms (approx 70-80k miles). It has a full Jaguar dealership service history (every 6 months). The other day I was driving at about 100 kph and the car juddered as the gear didn't seem to engage. A message came up 'failed gearbox' but when i turned the car off and on again it disappeared and the gears worked fine. I took it into the dealership (who have a history of providing the most costly solution) and they said they found traces of metal in the gearbox oil and that I need a new gearbox at the cost of 11k GBP. They haven't been able to tell me exactly what has broken though and because of their previous history I don't trust them.

Has anyone else had any experience with such an error and if so what was the solution?

I am at you mercy

Thanks

Jonpaul
