forgot to say read fault codes (autologic) and there was nothing regarding gearbox its definitely locking in third by the looks of things once the message appears

its now had alternator and battery replaced and still the same looks like its gearbox time I did a search and saw a faulty TF box motor or gearbox ecu was a possible think im grasping at straws though

if they want it they will get it they can always break into the house and take the keys and other things aswell

thanks

yeah just had a look on ebay £500 should take it all in it was a while since I looked

how about the gearbox fault could it be linked to a power drain/flat battery/alternator

it does look a bit of a tight one

;)anything he wants as long as the box is ok

I know the rear lights need to be electrically modified when I was looking to do one the rear lights alone were about a grand or so

ive tried that it too much for him to swallow lol

hes trying to sell me the car that's why am concerned about the gearbox fault don't fancy a £2000 bill for the box

its a long time since ive seen a td6 engine bay so cant remember what the job entails thanks for the info though,does sound a bit of a mare to do

also he has been quoted three hours to fit an alternator that sounds a bit excessive I thought

a friend of mine replaced his battery and ever since when warmed up it wont go into top gear in auto but will in manual the trans safe message comes up he has had the alternator tested and its slightly low charge rate 11.7amps coming back through he has asked around and had a few people...

This sounds like fun

ouch i will be doing everything possible to avoid this one im lead to believe it could be just the o ring on the pipe i live in hope :pound:

yeah your right its the rear one thanks lads

just been under the car to find an oil leak coming from the active roll control unit are these repairable the light has not come on as yet

started first time yesterday ran it for 30mins with no probs cant believe it or is it the calm before the storm

do you know where thats located. great cars when theyre running right,when they arent they are torture
