    Auto Gearbox pooped itself, hopefully it is just a linkage or selector gone.

    Did the tech day yesterday, no issues, went shopping this morning, no issues, parked the car came back an hour later reversed out of parking spot, put it into drive ( bit of a 3 point turn ) went too put it into reverse nothing t-bar had nothing just flopped between gears. Stopped the engine pushed it back into a carspace, checked oil all clean and appears plenty in there. Now t-bar is stuck in the "D" and can't move ?

    In other words HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP any idea's ?

    sorry tiger, you're stuck in a shopping centre car park. I've got standards you know :D

    In seriousness, I'd be looking for something snagging on the shifter- inhibitor assembly. Err on the side of caution and inspect before further trying to force it clear. The example yesterday was pretty close to damaging the loom section that was responsible

    Yeah true that, i'll crawl under it later when the damn ground isn't as hot as a nuclear reactor core.

    But luckily the car was home when it went poop.


    :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: You and Standards :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: the two words don't even fit together when it comes too you :D

    Home is a shopping centre car park?
    Hope they don't charge for overnight stays or tow her.

    and people thought this wouldn't be useful to someone someday.

    Yep Martin, had that done last weekend, possibly the cables snapped or the circlips popped off. Getting it towed over to Nialls workshop tonight.

    Ahh the life of a Zed owner poor one minute, poorer the next :p

    That's your issue, auto box was removed and replaced, I would suggest just some adjustment is needed

    Yep hopefully it's a nice simple fix ( prays too the Zed Gods ) .
