ATM waiting for the AA to recover it home

Any ideas am I in deep poop with a new gearbox needed?

JUST got the car home

She has just had two now front driveshafts fitted last week and the AA man said IF one of them is faulty there will be NO DRIVE to any of the wheels

IS that correct?

Also, with the engine running when you engage park you can hear the parking pawl bouncing and making a rattling sound as it tries to engage

BUT with the engine off the parking pawl does not engage though I guess the gearbox need to be pressurised to engage the parking pawl

Is that correct?

BLUDDY AA Man would not put it in the drive said he was frightened it would run away

So it is going to be fun NOT!!! getting it in the drive tomorrow

I will need a helicopter or five big strong men :-(


thanks
Thats your answer i would get it towed back to them .... let them sort it out , a non volvo drive shaft which is not up to it , or has not been fitted to the gearbox properly and has popped out , or the inner right driveshaft tripod joint has come out after they dislodged it . and yes what he said is correct . you cant count rotating with the car jacked up and that is just oil drag in the system .
