Auto Gearbox Problem
Hi all,
Bit of a newboy here so if this is in wrong place apologies.
Just bought a 1999 S type. Showing Gearbox fault but does not appear to be running differently and Auto gears seem fine. Have read something about cable adjustment? Can anybody elaborate? Thanks in advance.

Wecome aboard.
If the trans is doing what it is designed to do, then it is deemed fine.
A fluid drop and refill with careful noting of the old fluid colour, wil do no harm at all.
Once the drop and refill numbers (about 6) get to the point of the outcoming fluid is close to the incoming fluid in colour, then drop the pan and install a new filter.
Cable issues is mainly related to the ZF 6 speed in the X202 models.
Engine running issues will cause the trans do do weird stuff, due to the info from the engine being used to operate the transmission internals. My way of explaining the "smoke and mirrors" of the electronic transmissions.
One quick and cheap sort out is to disconnect the battery, have a beer or 3, and reconnect. That usually clears these things (not always) BUT, if the fault that caused the light is still lurking, it will illuminate soon enough. Then a code read will be the only way to sort it.

Well I sold the S type now and much as I love them won't be getting another one.
Happy with the X type although I am likely to be teased perhaps because of it being based on the humble Ford Mondeo.
But the drive is excellent and a lot lighter than the S type.
The O2 sensor is a simple job after I find my special socket with the cut out for the wires!
Thanks everybody who offered help and advice. This really is a great forum.
