Hello, I’m looking for some advice on my currently immobile R500. Whilst driving a couple of weeks ago I heard/felt a loud short rattle from somewhere central. Panic ensued, I found a side road to stop in switched off ignition and read a lot of codes for implausible speed etc. Cleared codes restarted and encountered limited drive as if something in the drive line was slipping, this was accompanied by a whirring sound and some slight vibration. Forward and reverse drive continued to deteriorate to the point when selecting gears, which seem to engage and change on the dash display when cycling through them, results in no drive at all just the whirring sound and vibration, however “P” no longer results in ‘locking’ the gearbox, so it’s held solely on the foot operated park brake. No codes are showing, which I would expect if the gearbox was at fault, but the lack of “P” function is confusing.
For info, in the last 100miles it’s had wheel speed sensor, new battery, all new brake lines, pads and discs and after all of that was running no fine until it wasn’t!
Could it be gearbox or transfer case? If latter does anyone know roughly the labour time to remove? This is one job I’m unwilling to have a go at on the drive.
Car recovered home where it has sat awaiting its fate, likely to be scrapped...
