THERE YOU MAY HAVE IT,IT'S A 2ND HAND CAR SO WHO KNOWS?TO SAY IT'S RUBBISH SEEMS A LITTLE STRANGE TO ME.I HAVE AS ALLREADY SAID I'VE HAD THE CAR 3 WEEKS SO I DONT KNOW AND DOUBT WILL EVER KNOW WHAT ALL THE OTHER DRIVERS DROVE LIKE.

If looked after they will go and go.
The trouble is too few people knowing anything about them and offering their 'opinions' which fall far short of the truth.One of the people who agreed with this diagnosis was stephens engineering PALMERS GREEN NORTH LONDON ACCORDING TO THEIR WEBSITE BIN AROUND 40 YEARS.ALSO SOMEONE CALLING THEMSELVES SMC (SWEDISH MOTOR COMPANY IN E17 AND MANY MANY OTHERS There is a separate ECU which controls the box and the likelihood is there is an eletrcical problem.
As others have said, pull the codes, find out what the problem is first then you can have kittens over how much a repair might be.THE ONLY THING I'M HAVING KITTENS ABOUT IS THESE PEOPLE CHARGE SO MUCH FOR SO LITTLE IE:- £1400 FOR A 12000 MILE WARRANTY,AND THAT MANY PEOPLE SEEM TO BE OF THE OPINION THAT A VOLVO FWD BOX IS ONLY GOOD FOR SO LITTLE MILEAGE WHEN MY TOYOTA HAS DONE 300,000 AND STILL GOING ON THE ORIGINAL BOX
Just had a root, you could try Brady Automatics in South Woodford. They're the nearest specialist listed. Give them a call, they might be able to advise over the phone.[/QUOTE]
