gtomo2:

Or it could be a mark3 escort which the near side floor fell out and left the passenger seat on the floor :shock:

Evilgoat:
Renault 11 1.4 Auto

4 Days old and lost 3rd gear
5 Days old lost Reverse unless I let the box cool down
6 Days old, half the electrics packed up including the central locking (No mechanical locks so couldnt lock/unlock it) and the gearbox died.
7 Days, new gearbox ECU and it worked ok till week 2
Week 3 new gearbox and gearbox ECU fitted
Week 5, while cruising on the M3, outside lane, just over 75 passing Fleet ,gearbox decides what I really really need was to go into reverse.

Gearbox toast, engine toast (Bent con rods, snapped crankshaft, mounts torn off, bolts mounting engine to tranny sheared. both CV joints stripped, wishbones buckled, disc buckled, wishbone mounts torn off on one side, the list goes on, actually had two bolts from an engine mount put 1/2" dents in the bulkhead they were torn out with that much force.

Could never get hold of the guy from the day it started acting up, private sale so nothing I could do. Guys at the local Auto specialist drained the fluid and changed the filter and found sawdust in there, a common trick with bad autos so I'm told.

Baby_Rhino:
sawdust mixed with oil seems to get rid of rattling noises i was once told, never tried it out tho!
