the problem i found it to be is the rear lights.. seal all around lights and also seal the weld just below the rear lights.. The water runs throught the light and under the carpet and down behind the rear seats onto the floor.. COMMON FAULT

Just been quoted £350 for a recon box delivered and everything awwwwsum!! I hoping though that when i flush out the system and then finally put sump back on and fill up fluid and give her a try she'l be fine.. Hopefully lol but if not im going for the recon!

Cheers Ben for your HELP! Looking through forums i found this... 1st stop is to check your fluid level; also, when was it last changed? Brakebands and clutches can fail, but most problems are caused by low or contaminated fluid. Here goes with a brief outline of how auto boxes work... [Others please comment if this isn't 100%, it's been a while since I played with any auto boxes] There's a torque converter on the flywheel; this is essentially two discs with vanes that pass close to each other, the whole thing is filled with transmission fluid. One half is bolted to the flywheel, the other is m

Still waiting on some replies lol im basically on my own here! I have 1 Haynes manual but that can only take me so far........ Today i cleaned up the old oil filter with some petrolium.. Left it inside a tin overnight to soak up. And a good idea it was.. its looking 2nd to brand new!.. Cleaned out the sump and was suprised to find 2 magnets inside.. Obviously this must be standard practice on the Autos.. Its job must be to attract any loose fileings from the gearbox to stop them from re-entering the gearbox.. Also something else to add from scouring the forums... If your stearing wheel vibrate

Today i spoke to a Auto Box specialist and he said with my current symtoms, he seems to think when i disturbed the box while removing it, i may have blocked the oil filter behind the sump. Therefor not enough oil getting to gearbox. So i removed the sump and oil filter to attempt to 'clean it up'.. But looking closer this filter seems tobe a sealed unit... Phoned the stealership and the guy give me a quote of £400 for the new filter!! Shocking!! When a new box is £1200 supplied by them.. Crazy!! So im gonna atempt to clean this filter up as best i can.. Some pictures attached showing filter

Wha! lol Got exactly the same problem with my VR6! Over 70pmh everything shakes and vibrates, mostly from the steering wheel.. Well cheers mate! Ive been to the garage many of times checking balances and tracking! That would explain everything lol Cheers again!

Speedo was sorted today.. There was a bit of swarf on the speed sensor! cleaned up like new.. The only thing that comes to mind about the gearbox is, When we removed the box to change the crankshaft, the torque converter leaked some oil but we just generally thought it was gearbox fluid.. But from reading forum posts im led to believe there is 2 types of fluid in a automatic box?? 1 oil and 1 fluid.. the oil is stored inside the torque converter is in a closed unit so theres no need to check the level.. So... what im thinking is... The torque converter has burnt out because of lack of oil?? B

an update.. Had my car put on a diagnostics test today and no electrical faults have shown up, everythin is sweet! But this guy seems to think my gearbox has had it Im thinking mayb torque converter but im unsure.. I would just like some feedback PLEASE????? Cheers
