Update So.... It needs a gearbox I'm going to get a second hand gearbox for it and I've seen quite a few ranging from one that's done 64k but £450!! and to one that's done 140k for £100 Any advice on buying a second hand gearbox? Its been a year since it blew the gearbox And in the meantime I...

No it isn't

Middle of the boot about 10 cm from the back door and the back door card is wet It has a rubber boot liner in it that has caught the water

Well, here we are back again So it went to someone who actually knows what they are doing and they found the selector wasn't adjusted properly and then told me that it was perfectly fine I told him to keep it for a week as I was sure that wasn't the only problem and it didn't take long for it to...

I bet yours worked after as well

I am sure I did the level right Cooler line is a very good idea especially as the last box died of overheating how would I test the lines and clear them?

Some metal on the magnet but no large pieces only some fine metal so it wasn't too bad and the fluid was brownish with a slight tint of red

'decent' lol I think not Well it dropped about 3.5l of oil bear in mind it also dropped 1 to 2l previously as then took barely 3l after i fitted the new filter and was no better After running it for a bit then shutting it off and restarting it works but then going again is intermittent I'm...

Yeah who would do such a thing? So I have an excuse at least. So nothing really happened I borrowed a ranger to do the towing I needed and just left it Just recently I decided that I should fix it and I brought fresh oil and a filter and I am going to start work on it today I'll put an update...

I've known him for quite a while and he's a family friend. I'm moving a house this weekend so he turned it out as fast as he could from me so maybe he made a mistake because he was in a rush...

I'm not sure one it's going it shifts fine and goes on the torque converter as normal but takes ages of idling before the gearbox will engage in the first place it just sits there and after a while I'll shift to drive again and the revs drop as it finally engages but now it takes 15 min and last...

My old box started pouring smoke on the m25 pulling an empty car transporter 2 hours into the home journey after 4 hours loaded on the way there (with a Ford sierra for weight reference) and it when completely dead with no gears at all (i forced it to a services still with drive up until i...

Also im not holding back money to the mechanic for this, i only picked it up on Friday and he hadn't invoiced it then

I tested the car this morning after it kicked out the fluid and it was even worse with trying to engage gears it took 10 mins before the box would engage So i sat thinking I'm going to have to spend more money on this, then i noticed the word 'more' i haven't paid the mechanic who did the job...

Think it was them yeah and I probably need to do the same I'm sure from them the ecu is solid I'll put some updates on in the morning after I've messed with it

I got lucky on the eyes but I did get a taste of it

I commonly work in my cars and have a few project cars so I get most stuff except auto boxes which due to their inherent complexity scare me so any advice is appreciated The truck has been remapped and all was fine with the running until the old box wore out If you are in the UK you might...

Easily but a mechanic did this for me on Monday and is a second hand box For science or something I will get a catch can and this time let it clear itself out and then drive it a bit if it shows symptoms of low fluid then I'll do a new filter if not I'll just run it for now and do a service...

Would it act up at all in any other way if the filter was blocked? It shifts fine and when I first checked the heat as soon as it was up on blocks so I could find the fill bolt and the right tool, it didn't feel too hot

A blocked filter... Do they do kits with all the orings and stuff to change one?
