My omega has developed a fault too, it will only go in 1st or reverse. I’ve had enough now, anybody want to take it off my hands?
Manual swap it...
               🙁 those days are over for me. On a brighter note it’s going to make way for another edition to my fleet  2011 XF 3.0D portfolio 😁😁👍

No not this one, and it’s had the belts done and both manifolds done new intercooler  and proper remap plus a plethora of other work (I know the car very well)👍

Read the engine codes, the gearbox will drop to a default single forward and reverse gear under certain fault conditions (air leaks and MAF issue being just one of them)

I've just driven her around for twenty minutes and she has decided to behave perfectly again.

Smooth changes, all gears available in both manual and auto. She is 17 years old though and I am concerned her teenage episode' may be a portent of things to come.

I'll check out the cost of an ATF change. Local garage man charges £60 p/h INCLUSIVE OF VAT.
An ATF change should sort it properly.  :y

Hopefully. Auto box cars are generally reliable.

My first car, built by the communists at BL, had lost 2 of its 4 forward gears by 50,000 miles.

Thrash the balls of it in first then straight into top (4th) and hope for the best. ;D

I had a 1980 Ford Cortina Estate Auto with no second gear when I lived in Australia in the 1990's and it was the same. Had to trash it in first and it would slide straight into third as there was no second gear. ::)

I did 13,000 miles around Australia in it though without any issues.  :y

No need for any other gear than top when crossing the Nullarbor plain. >:D 8)

Exactly and to be fair a lot of the roads from Adelaide round to Brisbane going clockwise are long flat straights.  :)

Cidies could be interesting though!  ;D
