Hi everyone! My Disco5 is just coming up to its first birthday. Not the best year , I have to say - approaching 8k miles, about 4k of them towing a large twin axle caravan. Recently I had a warning message on two occasions (without caravan) telling me that the transmission was restricted to two wheel drive - and I should drive with care. The dealership identified a transmission fault and a new part is required. This is on back order - and they say it could be weeks or longer sourcing the part. Does anyone have experience of this fault? I am worried that production problems on the Disco5 mean no new cars areavaailable at the moment - could this mean key transmission parts as well?

I have a Disco five ( 17) plate. It’s just done 75k It had a noise on the transmission. It needs a new rear diff. I’ve been waiting 3 weeks for one. It should have come last week, then today, now looks like the end of the week but I’m not holding my breath. The only good thing is the extended warranty.
