Transmission fault...
Hey I've had my x type for little over a month and the transmission fault thing came up.
Sometimes its just the transmission light the goes on, sometimes its the orange light and the words transmission fault, and sometimes its both. When my car goes on distant trips the transmission lights turn off for the rest of the day but if i dont go on long trips the transmission light(s) stay on.
I have A 03 xtype with 90,000 miles on it.
The car drives fine it doesnt feel like the transmission is bad or anything.

Disconnect the battery first. Then have a look at the connections and see if they look a bit corroded. If so take the thing out and open it up to clean off all the corrosion. Then I would do what I didn't but now have to.
Get a small baggie, poke a small hole in the top to run the wires through and then use some silicone and duct tape to seal it to the wires so the baggy acts like an umbrella to keep the moisture out. Guy at the dealership told me about that trick. My windshiels has a leak someplace..oddly enough it has developed a crack in it so insurance is replacing it so leak will be fixed but if you have a replacement windshield in yours that's likely the issue. You can tell if there is a big gap between the windshield and the plastic cowl.

Don't want to scare u but we had that come up and the tranny soon after started slipping..next day it was being rebuilt to the tune of over $4500....
I would seriously recomend taking it to a specialist and getting it inspected, the earlier it is checked the less parts get damaged and the lower the price of a rebuild.
