Did you fill it with the engine running and up to temp, i think that applies to the TD6 as well as the 4.4?

Being aTD6 I bet the gearbox is fecked. And if its the front axle then the box will be next.

Most likely, but I don't wanna freak the poor guy out to much just yet till we check the fundamentals!Being aTD6 I bet the gearbox is fecked. And if its the front axle then the box will be next.
any update on this?
Same thing just happened to mine, failsafe prog, then couple miles later i had very little drive (like a slipping clutch) then as I pulled into petrol station lost all drive
Battery on live data was showing to be charging at 11.9 so not sure if a dodgy alternator could be playing a part

Torque converter
Ye
I was thinking the same, I need to try an alternator on it first, I was reading live data and only getting 11.9 vaults, as i know a low voltage can really cause havoc

Saying that I think the problems have now gone passed a none chargin battery and faulty alternator as I've lost drive etc

I was goin to get a new TC and get valve body done. But ended up getting a fully reconditioned box off a guy in England for £800
Did that come with a new TC?

Wouldn't have thought so at that price.

Fully reconditioned doesn’t normally include the valve body upgrade which means the TC, even if it’s new, still dies and then kills the now fully unconditioned transmission unfortunately.
mines done the same and ive only had it 2 days

You need to give age and model to get some helpful advice from the gurus on here.

I would start with checking your battery and charging system, if that is OK then service the gearbox. It is worth investing in some diagnostics equipment. I bought Icarsoft which I have used on my L322, Gaylander and Jag. It is probably one of the cheapest options but has saved me a shed load of cash and time. Depending on where you are I do have a GM gearbox service kit with correct oil. Details about servicing are on RAVE and Youtube. Hardest part is getting safe level ground clearance to work on the car. I ended up using two sets of ramps and highest setting on the suspension plus a garden sprayer to refill the gearbox.

Unfortunately that tends to be the case with most things these days, a lot of peeps with no scruples or pride. I like to sell my cars in better condition then when I bought them or clarity if there was an issue I couldn't fix. My Wife gets fed up as the only time our cars are in full working condition tends to be on the day they are sold! If you prepare for the worst when buying and pay accordingly you will always be pleasantly surprised. Everything is a gamble!
