Good Evening All.
Well Ive Well And Truly ****ed the Mrs off now. It all started a couple of weeks ago when i was offered an 1999 P38 diesel of a friend of a friend with light front enf damage and no key. I had a key ordered from stratstone and had the car recovered to my house. Anyway repaired the damage to the front, new bumper, grill, head light. nothing major. Then the key arrived. I started her up and all was going well untill i tried to drive it off the drive. I tried reversing up and all i got back was very slow movment. The same in all the gears.
Had a look around on here the otherday and got the impression it was the gearbox oil. So picked some up, dropped the oil from the box, around 2.5 ltrs came out (didnt look very nice) a mixture of black and red? then filled up again, around 2.5 ltrs.
So then i tried again, and still the same. Revs up but hardly moves. I have repeated the oil change again but still no luck.
Am I missing something? Help PLEASE
