Hello

I've got an S-Type (2004 - diesel) and recently got the transmission fault light twice, whereby the gear stuck in third, I think. I turned off the ignition, waited a bit, and all was fine: it changed gears smoothly, and I didn't encounter the problem again for about a week and a half. I've read something about water and possibly dead batteries. Any ideas?

Sorry if this query has been answered before, but it's my first time here (I'm from Belgium)

Thanks
Peter

 

Hope it's a failing battery.
