Hi,
Gutted for you - that also happened to mine.
I could find no fix so ended up pushing a small piece of corrugated cardboard down the back!! Not ideal but it never showed ans worked too.
Then when someone drove into me I claimed for the mirror too!!!!!

Re: Trans Failsafe!
[quote=""X5Sport""]Sounds electrical from that description. If it was only the gearbox then only it would be affected with no other warnings and the radio/nav would not go off. Battery connections all tight? No loose/corroded earths in the boot under the spare etc? With the electrical work that's ...

Re: Trans Failsafe!
[quote=""X5Sport""]Sounds like you're doing the right things so far. When the warning comes on does your transmission actually lock in any gear - such as 3rd or 5th? Any odd noises, unusual shifting, lurching etc? Are all gears available including reverse, or any 'reluctance' in the box to make ...
