Hi!

Got to Farnborough today from Exeter and when tried to drove from the hotel I have noticed that my autobox doesn't change gears:(((
Help please!

Now, i had some problems in the past few weeks and was planning to visit Olly on my way back on Friday but will I be able to get from Farnborough to Portsmouth?
Today my car started playing up on the A303 as it was quite busy. Didn't want to change gears but restarting car fixed problem untill next traffic jam.

Now doesn't change at all - i mean i can put it into D or R and drive but that's 2nd gear and no down/up shifts. Also no S mode or reducing gears to 4/3/2.

Today also Engine light poped up.

I will see in the morning what's happening.
However, i need a car this week:(

Many thans for any advice.
Cheers
Chris

Btw. ATF was changed around 60k ago.
 
I suspect one of the speed sensors in the 'box has gone. Common issue but needs to go on a Star to check. Can be done while you wait too.
 
Thanks Olly.

For some reason i cant post PMs from iPhone.
Will it last till Friday? How much roughly?

Thanks
Chris
 
Part is £150 ish. Plus ATF, filter, gasket and fitting.
 
Thanks Olly.
Hopefully I will be able to get to you on Fri...

Cheers
Chris
