Hi i am a new member, and have recently purchased a XFR sport black edition enjoying my 1st weeks in the vehicle.

only today that i have had a problem,having starting the car ,a gearbox fault light came up on the dash and the car was sluggish on pull away

and continued to be.i have arrived home and just started the car after 2hrs and the light has gone off and seems to be ok even on pull away, not 

having owned a car like this before and being clueless mechanically.I just wondered if anyone could advise me 

 

 

Hi Graham, and welcome to the Club!

My first thought would be that the battery may be low: What kind of journeys have you been doing?

i have only been doing short journeys, 

Hi Leo sorry for the short reply, I have only had the jag for a short time and have only really done short distances.

do you think it could be something as simple as that. ive ever had a car like this, 

It could very easily be the battery: These cars produce all sorts of random warnings if the battery condition drops even slightly.

I keep mine constantly topped up with a CTEK battery conditioner, as do many other members.

wow ok il get it checked tomorrow, and il invest in one of those conditioners, are they easily sourced

Yes, they are easy to find. I bought mine at Amazon.

For your car the CTEK msx5 would be the usual choice. I bought the mxs10, but realised afterwards that it was something of an overkill.
