These gearboxes don’t really go wrong but do eat torque converters like like the TD6 did as the engine is too powerful for the torque converter! You can buy reconditioned torque converters with reinforced plates for £320 which would have been a relatively cheap fix!!!

@17:30 Yeah I put a trans in my 03 disco and it's pretty much like that, it will NOT shift on it;s own at all though, it has to be manually shifted through all the gears and basically goes to N when you left off the go pedal, but if I put it into a lower gear it will do engine braking then. I smoked the trans in it earlier by flat towing it, I meant to have put the transfer case into N but I was tired and groggy and put it into L so once I got up to highway speeds it was smoking like crazy. It did have enough left in it to drive around the yard to where I fixed it under its own power though lol. land rovers are junk but I do like the way the disco II drives off road, way better than the murikan junk, but keeping it together is pathetic. But now that I put the cheapest trans I could find on ebay it doesn't smoke, but ugg what I had to do to the cooling lines I do drip a little. @21:00 SAY WHUT, a land rover without any codes, that's not possible mate, it's lying lol. @23:10 Well the thing is they will invest time and labor diagnosing your vehicle so it would be like asking someone to work for free to expect them to tell you what's wrong with it without a diag fee, transmissions are specially time consuming. I am a mechanic as a side gig, I hate when people expect me to tell them whats wrong with something but don't care they take time away from my family and not even pay me so I can put food on the table. Half people when you do that will just not have it fixed, then the mechanic is out of time that they could have been using on a paying customer. Some things I have no problem diagnosing for free, I just tell them it's a very shallow judgement call because I won't spend more than 10-15 looking at and considering, if they want me to research their problem that too costs. I agree most shops charge high prices, that's why I NEVER take my junk to anyone else, other than for tires. The other thing I do is sure I'll diag you car but if you don't want it fixed the parts just get dumped into the seats/trunk and if it's not collected in 2 days then storage fees will accrue. I like your video though, land rovers are finical viable, eventually mine will get a engine and trans swap from something more worthy and peppy. Up to 2004 land rover was using a GM designed engine for their rovers that was dreamed up in the 30s or 40s, they must have been the last company to stop using push rod engines lol, those top hat alumn engines are such junk and impossible to stop leaking the front cover has to goto a machine shop to fix where the crank comes through and seals against the shaft of the harmonic balancer/crank pulley. I do have videos about replacing the transmission if anyone reading needs help, removal and install.

Here's my two cents on the ZF 6HP: They're not bad gearboxes, however there are some more or less common failures that can happen. - The Torque Converters can rarely go bad. That doesn't usually prevent it from shifting though. Usually it's just the Torque converter Clutch that fails, which will cause the RPMs to fluctuate, while going at a constant speed. - There's some seals between the mechatronics and the main gearbox, that shrink over time. This can cause the box to have less than ideal oil pressure and will at the very least cause harsher shifts. If you leave that for too long, there's a possibility of burnt clutches. Also, there is a sealing-plate between the two halves of the mechatronics that can cause the same issues. Replacing these seals is comparatively cheap preventative maintenance, that I always recommend on these Transmissions - There are brass bushings on the shafts inside the transmission. These seal the oil supply to the clutches and especially the ones for clutch E (I think) like to wear out, causing low Oil Pressure to that clutch. This Mainly affects 3 to 4 shifting in the beginning and will cause the gearbox to go into limp mode once it can't adapt to the loss of pressure anymore. If this happens a complete rebuild is needed (This is also my theory, as to what happened here) By the way, You can swap over the Gearbox ECU (located on top of the mechatronics) in order to circumvent having to program the new box.

@@NotEconomicallyViable Just as a follow up, if you're interested, Sreten over at M539 Restorations did a full mechatronics service on his E70's 6HP. One of the commenters is apparently a ZF tech and said it was a textbook example of how to do the service. Also of note, if you end up with an 8HP in any vehicle... you may not be able to play swapsies so I would recommend a textbook service on it if it's high mileage. My 8HP failed catastrophically at around 275,000 km due to water ingress destroying the seals (never did figure it out so now it has a separate trans cooler because not worth the risk) and it cost $13k to rebuild fully as I said in my other comment.

My theory on Range Rover ownership is that everyone that buys a ‘cheap’ one ends up spending about 2 grand or more on it in repairs and then they pass it on to the next owner who does exactly the same! The amazing thing is that they go wrong so often it’s like a bottomless pit. It only stops when someone scraps them.

please dont hate me but as an engr, I know that designs (whole cars) are either solid, or have distinct weak spots. here the torque converter seems to be a known weak spot. and it will cost loads to swap, plus a tranny if you kill it too. Example: on my personal vehicle the voltage regulator was a weak spot, gets too hot, because the alternator is too small and its exposed too much. when it goes it can take down anything electric on the truck. solution is to swap a larger alternator. Fix any inherited issues and from there, you're fine. in general, the lower the production number, or higher the price of the car, the more likely there are these design gremlins. I don't have a RR but based on this video I would not trust this model. You never know if you buy a new car. In USA we have two kinds of locations, SALTED ROADS and seldom salted/unsalted roads. People who live in the RUSTY salted areas assume nothing lasts 15 years, and it flavors their entire perspective. In other areas cars can last as long as you maintain them. When you get into a chat with anyone here, its worth asking about the road salt to find out. Canada is 100% salted. If someone considers all cars "dead in 15 years" then they will talk nice about cars with problems like this RR more often.

That was truly epic. Having begun making our own videos showing our life building a house off grid, running a forestry business & trying to film that, I can totally appreciate how difficult this was & felt the "Yes" when you got it working again. & as a fellow Land Rover & RangeRover owner, I salute you. Cheers!

Congratulations to you both on your baby boy. Great to see you back doing what you do best. You're a really brave guy tackling the things you do, well done for your achievements so far, we're all looking forward to much more. I've just bought a few tickets, it's far more satisfying than playing the lottery. Good luck buddy 👍

This is normal RR ownership. I bought a range Rover classic. It only needed 4 new doors, a rebuild engine a freshly welded subframe, new tailgate new steering rack and some other bits. And after it was done it only left me stranded 5 times in one year.

There is a hidden factory reset for your car's gearbox software , I have used it , it actually does work . I stumbled on it from a retired factory development engineer who was helping someone out on a forum . There are many resets that you can do from the car without having to try fix it yourself , if you are a long time L322 owner , you may know some of them

I’ve run mine nearly 3 years now, passed 2 mots no advisories, initially on first purchase from sea side I needed 4 brake callipers, all seized up. Since that point I’ve had one ride height sensor fitted to suspension under dealers 6 month warranty. Only had 2 services and a flat battery last winter where I changed the battery. Been very reliable so far. Done 15000 miles to date

Last time I had gearbox issues (Volvo V40) changing the gearbox oil sorted it. Also, check gearbox oil level. If it drops in an auto, it can cause issues. Start with the simple checks before going for the big ones.

A little tip for filling gearboxes, diffs etc, is to use a long hose with a funnel on the end. Then you can stand upright and fill. It does give a little spill when the gearbox is full and the hose still have oil in it, but a tray under the car will sort that out. I always do that on my Land Rovers. No pumping and lying on your back. :)
