    Alarming issue at Highway Speed.

    Hi Brains Trust,
    I have a 2016 Disco Sport now with about 130k on the clock.
    it has a very alarming, and possibly dangerous trick. I hope someone can enlighten me…
    Im driving down the highway at 110 (in WA) and (usually on cruise control). I pull out to pass someone and the following happens:
    gearbox disengages
    revs go up
    ”D” on the instrument cluster goes out (there’s nothing showing)
    ”D” starts flashing
    Gearbox re-engages
    The Driver Of the Semi behind me pulls the finger and looks (rightly) annoyed.

    Any thoughts.

    Regards

    J

    Did you disengage the cruise control before putting the welly in to overtake?
