I actually have 2 S8's one FL and one PF both with the same gearbox (fbg vs ecx but both 5HP's). The facelift one has a dead engine due to timing and throwing pistons into valves (sigh) so I got the second which has developed this gearbox fault.
We did an oil flush and it was not too bad, though the magnets had silver particles.
I was looking at Swapping the valve bodies, but testing sounds good.
However I'm a little confused.....The Code is
17145 - Shift Solenoid 3 (N90) : Open or Short to Ground P0761
Also known as P0761 - Shift Solenoid C
I was thinking from http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i...t2008/EDS4.jpg
That C was EDS5 ???
However you circle MV3 in red on one drawing and say SV3 on your pin out???

Hi Lee,
Sorry about the confusion regarding the correct designation for the shift solenoids.
ZF refer to the shift solenoids as MV1, MV2, MV3 as the German word is ‘Magnetventil’
However, English documents (such as the example below from the Range Rover workshop manual) often ‘translate’ this to SV1, SV2 & SV3.
I produced the images in my previous post months, possibly years, apart so I apologise for not being consistent!
The photo you attached is taken out of context. I was answering a query regarding the torque converter lock-up clutch pressure regulator solenoid (black cap) and was advising the OP that they could swap it with any of the other three black cap pressure regulator solenoids as they were all identical. I labelled these as A, B & C on the photo just to help him identify them.
The P0761 code is definitely for the MV3 brown cap solenoid i.e. the one on the end at the opposite side of the valve block to the ‘green cap’ main pressure regulator solenoid
