LR4 Transmission Problems
Hi, so I brought my LR4 in last week for a visor replacement but my dealer decided to replace a trans pan under one of the new bulletins. I drive home after the dealer having the car for a week and the vehicle doesn’t seem to be shifting properly and fees like it will stall on turns. Service department says to keep an eye on it and let them know if anything changes. Next day get a transmission fault and car won’t move nor go into neutral to be able to be moved. Faults like 10 times and has to get towed. Can’t Tow because can’t get into neutral. Finally get the car into gear and able to be towed. Land Rover can’t find any of the faults in the system and just perform a TCM update. Thoughts???

It is always useful to know where you live and what year and model you have.
My guess: they found what they did wrong when they changed the pan, fixed it and told you "can't find anything wrong, now!" Some ZF guy will weigh in, but maybe forgot a quart or two . . . or didn't seat the valve.

Got in truck again this morning after weeks of having intermittent problems with car not driving properly however today the car had transmission faults again. Wouldn’t even go into neutral. Anyone have any ideas. This was a problem ever since that trans pan bulletin. It was towed in and they claim can’t find the faults in the system.

It sounds like a dealer mistake, I'm afraid it does sound like the 'bending ball' scenario. Yep, the early ZF pans need replacing on the earlier LR4's but it sounds more suspicious than that, I reckon they have either put the wrong ATF in the trans or they haven't followed the correct procedure when refilling.
Get them to print out the exact codes and take them away with you and get them to fix the trans correctly. If you assume most dealers and mechanics are half wits you'd be over stating their abilities.
