Thread: gear selection dial MY13 D4

HI
Maybe if Mr LR can exchange my gear selector for a gear stick or I get Landy Andy to send me a little blue tablet my problem may be solved. HA HA.


Anyway I very much appreciate all your imput
regards Kev

But if you don't have a decent stick you're just a knob

Guess you can go play with your flappy bits

Oh dear, Tombie.

HI
Same problem raised it head again this morning, this afternoon spoke with the LR dealer on the Gold Coast , disco booked in Tuesday morning. Will go on machine and after that the boss of the workshop will talk to me.


I will let you know the outcome.
Regards Kev

Not sure if it's the same issue but there was a service bulletin on the gear selector for MY13 SE. Solenoid issue or something.


I saw it on TOPIX against my VIN and it was 'addressed' when the car went in for it's first service. I didn't have any issues but it was dealt with supposedly as part of a global fix.


I'm pretty certain the fault in some cars meant the knob didn't rise up.

Hi Celtoid
Thanks for the info. Question When was your service done .
my first service done in January 2015 at Bruce Lynton speedo reading was about 9,000 k now 11,950. Is there anything I should tell LR Dealer about.

Hi Kev
This happened to me 12mths ago with only 3000kms travelled. Initially I noticed the gear selector would rise then drop then rise again within 10-15 seconds every morning (i.e. when cold). It didn't recur during the day but would again the next morning. I began to think it was normal! Eventually on first day of our trip to Flinders Ranges it did same thing but then dropped again and stayed down.We were full packed leaving a cabin near Port Augusta. I then managed to rotate the dial to "D" whilst it was down (having read in manual this was possible). However what I didn't consider was what would happen if I couldn't turn it back to park (which happened!). So we were stranded for 8hrs before it was trucked back to Adelaide- a new rotary gear selector was sent out from UK. Mine was apparently the first D4 to have this done (so I was told). That took 10 days. A Hilux mining ute took over duties for the rest of that trip We are going back up there again next month. No signs of any repeat issues with the replacement gear selector. Fingers crossed! Regards, David.

I'll go digging for the paperwork. Hopefully it lists the bulletin number on the paperwork.
