Hi everyone I'm new on this site , I was wondering if anyone can help me as I'm having sum trouble with my rrs tdv8 , I was driving on motorway other day and just before I was about to reach home I had a message displayed in dash saying transmission fault and it only gaved me certain gear or gears to use as there wasn't any hard shoulder at the time I had to move on to lorries lane I was doing about 50mph on between 4-5k revs , and then I managed to get to the bit where hard shoulder was available and I stopped turned engine off and on message disappeared and gears seem to be fine until I find another few miles same message appeared again, and limited gears i was driving and the gear box wasn't selecting higher gears until I take my foot of gas pedal ,I was back home parked and left it till morning and next day where I was parked oil puddle was there about 10" size ,just wondering if anyone can advise me what to do , I haven't drived the vehicle since ? Many thanks

Welcome.

Sorry to hear of your problems.

Can you identify where the oil is coming from (engine/gearbox/transfer box/diff)? Naturally, this has to be the first step. A diagnostic session may also help if possible.

In case it's not related, were you not to have mentioned the oil, I'd have said the following:

Brake bulbs and switch. Also, always worth checking the battery and alternator.

Also potentially an ABS sensor and/or Steering Angle Sensor (SAS).  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

I can't really sea as it's got protection cover ,the oil puddle location is near enough on the center of the front and it's about 1 meter inwards from front bumper ,oil is light brown colour, how will I be able to identify where the leak is actually cuming out from , I'm going to get rac to take it garage as I don't know how serious it is ,don't wanna cause further damage , many thanks for you reply.

sounds like you have an oil cooler pipe burst or something along those lines and have lost transmission fluid,good idea not to drive it  silverRRS 2.7 TDV6 22"WHEELS FULL COLOUR CODE,STEPS,REMAP..gone
