Once the engine is warm, will not move at all. The gearbox is the XF one (made by GM) - do the fixes generally apply to this box too? Realoem quotes it as part 24007508857, A5S 390R - XF.

I tried topping up the oil (added 2L before it trickled out) but no difference at all. No error codes appearing.

Many thanks to you for your brilliant post!

If you had to add 2L of ATF in the trans and been driving with the trans that low, most likely the friction plates are toast and a rebuild is the only way to fix it. Didn't you notice any oil spot under the X at all?
