I have a "gearbox fault" indication on the fault graphic. The engine will not turn over when I try to start it. Its a 02 x-type, 3.0.

Check all wiring under the car. Transmission and ABS are not talking to the bcm. Maybe rat damage or something you ran over.

Does the car engine turn over when trying to start if not it might think it's in gear is the shift gate lighting up with ing on

you need to get the fault codes out of the engine control module and the transmission control module ie ecm and tcm with a eobd fault code reader to help sort this one . common probs are faulty jatco auto gearbox (rubbissh gearbox) poss engine managment sensor failures or even a broken/corroded wire or connector, good luck,.

Whenever this warning light or any other stays on in the dash it is indicating that the systems control module (or the system sensor in the case of lights like low oil pressure, door open indicators etc.) has detected a fault, it then disables the system (this applies to ABS,TCS, TCM, SRS and BCM faults and others) as long as the light is on. You must now have the dealer hook up a special electronic diagnostic tool and "scan" the system for the fault code that is stored for the problem(s)

Legend of Abbreviations. ABS Antilock brake system.TCS Traction control system, TCM Transmission control module, SRS Supplemental restraint system, BCM Body control module

In order to help you I would need the contro system read for fault codes and go from there.

This could be caused by many things - but don't panic - as the car is driving okay it is probably a spark plug coil as at your mileage you are due a change. The gearbox fault sign can be caused by the engine misfiring and confusing the gearbox controls - happened to me - took lots of investigations to prove it. Best to get your car on a diagnostics rig and see what faults are recorded. good luck - hope this helps.

try to get the batteries checked, fuel cervo, fuel pump, fuel filter might be clogged. this is some of the malfunction cause

I have a 2002 X type (2 litre. done 44000 miles), dash showed gear box problem, (red circle light up). I pulled out and turned the engine off. 5 minutes later turned the engine on. The engine running but the car would not drive either in drive or reverse. Turned the engine off again and on the car driving but not much power. The care is taken to the Jag. dealer and told is misfiring + some gear box faults. Suggesting to change some coils and see (cost about £200+). also possible need to change the gear box costing about £2500+. Please advice. Shall I go ahead with the repair? Should I part exchange.
