[makeitfit]

someones bid on it , so ... its either one of you guys , or hes bid on it himself lol

No problem mate , there's no way he's selling it this time round :naughty

 

[briggie]

been out to the car tonight , it started up first time , sounded beautifull ,i moved the gear selector back and forwards like i did before , but it wont drive ! , strange huh ?

dumb question but

i had that r3m terrano with auto box . now that had some switch kinda thing on the brake pedal cos every time you applied the brake it used to click. cant remember the perpose of that .

but does the misteral have the same set up

this t2 terrano i have now with auto box dont have a switch on the brake and dont click

possibly absolutely nothing to do with the problem . but maybe

Cars are female, best not to try to work them out. just pay until they work/are happy.

Did you guve it a couple if secs in each gear?

personally i'd leave it until either sold or slush box mech looks at it - might be doing more harm?

could that be the switch thingy that only lets you start engine if foot on brake?

 

[extreme-4x4]

nope you could start engine without foot on brake

 

[briggie]

thats true , its just you cant move the gear selector untill you put your foot on the brake.

gearbox fluid level ???

Did you check the fluid level as per my last post. did you move the lever THREE times and leave it in park with the engine running ???? Did you then check the fluid level on the gearbox dip stick ???? was the fluid level right ???? If yes=yes=and yes then it may be best to get an auto box engineer to check it for you. any GOOD auto gearbox technician would be able to test the box insitu (there are test points on the box to fit a presure gauge)and they should be able to repair your gearbox.

fluid level checks are as follows ....... when cold , level is at the top mark on the dipstick ( the warm mark ) ....... when warm the level is about half a inch above the maximum level ( the warm mark ) does that make sense ?

 

[briggie]

oh by the way , it wont drive at all now even if i move the gearselector forwards and backwards ,although it moved very slightly this morning , the wheels screached as though i was doing a wheelspin and it jumped forward , but it doesnt move now .

The transfer box is not in neutral by any chance ?,

Is it worth checking the hubs aren't locked?

 

[briggie]

if i take the handbrake off and put it in neutral it rolls backwards so i dont think the hubs are locked , as for the transfer box .... i will have a wiggle with the lever later on , but sometimes it drives , thats the strange thing , albeit not for long tho

 

[clivvy]

Is there an auto box sensor or something? It's just if it's a mechanical fault, I wouldn't expect it to work for a bit one minute, but not the next, see what I mean?

 

[briggie]

just another thought , when its cold shouldnt the atf level be on the bottom mark instead of the top mark ? ... when its warm it goes above the top mark by about half a inch , if its overfilled will this cause intermittant drive ? , but i will have a fiddle with my knob ( transfer ) later on

 

[briggie]

its nissing down , so i havent had a chance to play with my knob ( transfer box selector knob )

bottom mark is cold top mark is hot .... anything else i guess you will have problems .

 

[briggie]

ok ive been out for a fiddle with the transfer box , apart from a nice green light lighting up on the dash , when i put it in 4 wheel drive , and then going out when i put it back in 2 wheel drive , nothing happened , no drive .

 

[extreme-4x4]

i recon its toolbox time .


unless anyone near by to drain some oil out

 

[briggie]

surely if its overfilled it will spit it out ? .... theres no oil leaks anywhere ? :nenau
