Welcome - sorry to hear you are having problems.

Try and use some punctuation and paragraphs.

Red light stays on for 16 minutes after you turn off, then car goes to sleep...

Best way to "handle this problem" is to return the car to the dealer and get them to fix it...

If you use the search function you will find dozens of threads about it, sometimes it's a small simple thing sometimes it needs a new box...

And yes you did pay top money, at that price it should be mint with no faults at all...

Good luck....  Pete

Am I correct in Thinking Trans fail safe may be triggered by the gearbox oil heating up on account of a blockage in the lower part of the radiator? See if they will put a new radiator and oil cooler in.

Otherwise it sounds as if the new gearbox needs a Look at or a re-set?? (Please feel free to advise otherwise anybody?)

You might find it useful to look at the Consumer Rights Act 2015, which is easily found by googling that title, in particular:
section 9 (test of satisfactory quality),
19 (rights of the consumer where the dealer is in breach of contract by supplying goods not of satisfactory quality)
20 (right to return the goods and get your money back)
22 (30 day time limit for return/refund)
23 (right to repair/replacement).
There is also a Citizens Advice item on this which might be helpful. Only Range Rovers since 1988

UPDATE car spent day with dealer and garage battery checked all fine came up with a code 5?? the gearbox rebuilders said if happens again after gearbox being reset to take to them and will replace a cable so fingers crossed will try today for a few miles then if needed a trip to Suffolk to gearbox builders it is

am off to Suffolk automatic transmissions tomorrow so fingers crossed will be sorted if not going to have to back the car and find another pain in butt that would be carless over Christmas not great with a disabled parent
