The Lurch has gone...so far....
I have had the Lurch since I got my S Type, type 2 I think where it lurches as you come to a halt. It had more or less gone away with using Sport mode all the time.
Then, three days ago I had been driving around on errands and after pulling away from traffic lights the car lost power briefly and a warning 'gearbox fault' (or something similar) came up. I pulled in and stopped and switched the engine off. I checked the manual which stated such an error reading was an 'amber' warning and it not mention taking the car to your dealer. So I turned the engine back on and have been driving about for three days, with no Lurch.
Has the gearbox reset itself?

Yesterday, for the first time since my original post I had a lurch. Then today driving home the gearbox fault light came on again, but there was no loss of power. I pulled in, turned off the engine and a few seconds later turned it back on again and off I went, no lurch, no issues.
Has anyone got any idea of what is going on. I have had work done on the transmission when the car went into a dealer to have its oil filter cooler changed under warranty. Is there a connection?

I found out about the recall here

It is only for the diesel and on mine they did change the filter, not just reprogramming it.
I have covered a good 1000 miles and it is a couple of months since the work was done.
