I have been a proud owner of a 2003 L322 TD6 for just under 8 months now. It has just under 180,000Ks on the clock and will be booked in for a freshen up.
HOWEVER
Over the past few days a few concerning issues have arrived, after engaging low range for the first time since i purchased the vehicle and then re engaging high range i have come across a repetitive fault "Transfer Neutral". When this first began i re engaged low range and went for a 2K drive down my driveway and back and then i removed and inspected the plug on the transfer case. This solved the problem for a few days. This fault comes up VERY frequently now (70 times in just 20minutes drive home last night) and then i was unable to engage low range until i turned the vehicle off and on again.
AND THEN
To further my concerns whilst driving in sports mode the gearbox no longer automatically shifts up through the gears. And a "TransFailSafe. Prog" message (or something of this kind) and the low range light would flash on and off occasionally and creating a surging.
SUMMARY
1. "Transfer Neutral" message.
2. "TransFailSafe.Prog" message.
3. Low range light illuminating whilst driving in high range causing surging.
4. Sport Mode not shift up through the gears automatically.
I have had my battery load tested and it has come back ok, however it does have a dodgy negative connection. Does this sound like the start of a dieing Transfer Case? or worse the Main Box packing up shop? :(
Kind Regards, James.
