Well im having a lot of fun with my Zed recently, had the front shocks and top mounts done last week because they were gone to the point of nearly failing. There is still a small knocking noise from the suspension, I think its probably an ARB bush or drop link hope its not the wishbone balljoints was going to have a look at it when i get some time I don't think its a safety issue as all the big bits have been changed.
Anyways that not what this thread is about, its about my breadbox saga.
Today I pop into town when I get to the carpark I goto reverse into my space, put the car in reverse press the accelerator nothing happens. The dash shows that its in reverse (Big R on the mini display; its an auto if you hadn't guessed). It just revs and revs but doesn't move.
Think f this I have a meeting to get to so try to push the car into the space and just leave it to worry about later get stuck in a pothole that I can't push it out of aggggh. Get back in to rethink the plan as im getting annoyed I just want to park my car. Think like a computer turn it off and back on again now I have a gearbox light on the dash. Engage drive it still goes forwards awesome, reverse nope it revs. forwards yep good reverse it works yay. Park up and leave it winner worry about it later.
Get back to my car a few hours later turn it on gearbox light, try my code reader (Carly and it doesn't work - see the other thread Carly is broke) so drive straight to the mechanic. He is going to have a look at it in the morning when its cold he thinks the gearbox may be low on fluid as I have had a new Tourque converter and a fluid change recently to fix a rattle noise that has been plaguing the car for a while.
Put my mind at ease best case its the oil worst case a shot transmission.
