My FL2 is 3 months old and it has come up with a warning that states "Gearbox Fault" , "Traction Reduced" and "Special Programs Off".
This happened after we had been using both "Mud and Ruts" and "Sand And Gravel" modes while doing a recreational off road course. The car , while off road was impressive but I'm wondering if this Warning Alarm is due to the gearbox getting too hot.

Normally you have to work it quite hard for that to occur. A big long steep climb on a warm day can trigger it in Mud/Ruts or a big dune climb or heavy beach sand for a few kms in sand mode. I've never had it happen in Grass/Gravel/Snow mode but I don't use that much.

Thanks for your feedback Mikehzz. I've had the vehicle at the dealers and they have diagnosed a faulty sensor on the rear diff.
