Re: gearbox issue

Thanks Simon..I think this is exactly what is needed (hopefully), but will get it done by some recommended auto gearbox specialists. As a heads up, the Forte fluid did help! Dave

Re: Roof warning light and alarm sounding ALL THE TIME!!

Hi, Yep, had exactly the same for about 6 months. Still doing it. I think its the microswitch. One day may get it fixed , but now ignore the light with ease. Some people cover the flashing light with tape. Cheers, Dave

Re: "Total" coolant loss (V6)

Hi, It's a leak! Could be from anywhere, but rad sounds possible. It will probably be worth looking at the hoses, the water pump as well as the rad.Expensive , but often an improved flow from a new rad will expose weaknesses in the water pump. Dave

Re: Awnings

Hey Briwy, I have seen your bracket pics here before, and am convinced this would be a good idea for me. How hard was it to remove the internal trim? Cheers, Dave

Re: Urgent help needed, possible head gasket or worse proble

Hi, Sorry to hear about your issue! Do you have any recovery in place or will your insurance sort you out. If you don't have either of these things you will have to either pay for your vehicle to be towed to the UK or get the parts delivered and someone wait with the vehicle. Expensive!! There are ...

Hi, I have done this and didn't come across any wires , but that doesn't mean that there aren't wires there.....do small holes first and look inside with a torch. Dave

Re: AFT beeping..when engine on !!

If it is the AFT bleep , then you should find it speeds up if you move away and speed up yourself. If not, either it isn't the AFT , or you have a fault with that mechanism. Dave

Re: AFT beeping..when engine on !!

Hi, I currently have a similar situation. Can you stop your beeper by raising the roof slightly and lowering it back down. It works for me. When the weather picks up I will sort my issue out. Dave
