Trans failsafe.!!!!!
Hi all. I,ve got this little message come up on the dash, now the good bit.
When i go out in the X5 it is fine ,changes gear correctly nice and smooth, but only for about 2-3 miles. It then sounds like the clutch is slipping( if it was a manual) and the mesage appears. If i leave the car for a hour or 2 and go out again the same thing happens.
Is the gearbox ready for the scrap heap or am i missing something.
I.ve been quoted £2700 for a replacement gearbox and its money i don't have at the moment.

Any Ideas??????????
