first thing is to check your fluid levels mate, surprising how bad things turn if your hydraulics are even slghtly below the level

right, i have done the diagnostics and it comes up as: 1st flash longer than others = Revolution sensor is shorted or disconnected. so how do i fix this and is it expensive etc... also where is it and is it easy to access

Edited by yassa

Revolution sensor is easy as it fits "outside " of the box, passenger side high up, available as used part.

Let Monty Python tell you about autogearbox `s ("your gearbox is no more it is deceased")

 

 

A customer enters an auto box specialist

 

Customer: 'Ello, I wish to register a complaint.

 

(The owner does not respond.)

 

O: We're closin' for lunch.

 

C: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about my gearbox what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very specialist.

 

O: Oh yes, the, uh, the fast road special...What's,uh...What's wrong with it?

 

C: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'it's dead, that's what's wrong with it!

 

O: No, no, 'e's uh,...it`s resting.

 

C: Look, matey, I know a dead gearbox when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.

 

O: No no it`s not dead, it`s, it`s restin'! Remarkable the fast road, idn'it, ay? Beautiful change!

 

C: The change don't enter into it. It's stone dead.

 

O: Nononono, no, no! 'It's resting!

 

C: All right then, if its restin', I'll wake it up!

 

(fiddles with slector)

 

'Ello, Mister fast road box I've got a lovely fresh autobox fluid for you if you show...

 

(owner hits the selector)

 

O: There, it moved! into reverse!

 

C: No, it didn't, that was you hitting the selector!

 

O: I never!!

 

C: Yes, you did!

 

O: I never, never did anything...

 

C: (yelling and hitting the selector repeatedly) 'ELLO ZEDBOX!!!!!

 

Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call!

 

(Takes GEARBOX out of the CAR and thumps its TORQUE CONVERTOR on the counter. Throws it up in the air and watches it plummet to the floor.)

 

C: Now that's what I call a dead GEARBOX.

 

O: No, no.....No, 'It's stunned!

 

C: STUNNED?!?

 

O: Yeah! You stunned him, just as it was wakin' up! fast road boxes stun easily.

 

C: Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That gearbox is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not 'alf an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of top gears was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged thrashing.

 

O: Well, he's...it's, ah...probably pining for a service

 

C: PININ' for the SERVICE?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?, look, why did it fail the moment I got 'it home?

 

O: auto gearboxes prefers kippin' on the job! Remarkable box, id'nit, squire? Lovely change!

 

C: Look, I took the liberty of examining that box when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting in first gear was that it had been NAILED there.

 

(pause)

 

O: Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed that box down, it would have nuzzled up to the turbo`s bent 'em apart, and VOOM! Feeweeweewee! 200mph

 

C: "VOOM"?!? Mate, this box wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! 'It's bleedin' demised!

 

O: No no! 'It's pining!

 

C: 'It's not pinin'! 'It's passed on! This box is no more! It has ceased to be! 'It's expired and gone to meet 'is maker!

 

'It's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'it rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'in first gear it would be pushing up the daisies now!

 

'Its metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'It's off the mortal road!

'It's kicked the bucket, 'Its shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the road and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!!

 

THIS IS AN EX-GEARBOX!!

 

(pause)

 

O: Well, I'd better replace it, then.

 

(he takes a quick peek behind the counter)

 

O: Sorry squire, I've had a look 'round the back of the shop, and uh, we're right out of AUTOBOXES.

 

C: I see. I see, I get the picture.

 

O: I got a manual.

 

(pause)

 

C: (sweet as sugar) Pray, does it work?

 

O: Nnnnot really syncro`s stuffed

 

C: WELL IT'S HARDLY A BLOODY REPLACEMENT, IS IT?!!???!!?

 

O: Look, if you go to my brother's garage in Bolton, he'll replace the box for you.

 

C: Bolton, eh? Very well.

 

The customer leaves.

 

The customer enters the same garage. The owner is putting on a false moustache.

 

C: This is Bolton, is it?

 

O: (with a fake mustache) No, it's Ipswitch.

 

C: That's Network rail for you.

 

The customer goes to the train station.

 

He addresses a man standing behind a desk marked "Complaints".

 

C: I wish to complain, Railways Person.

 

Attendant: I DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS JOB, YOU KNOW!!!

 

C: I beg your pardon...?

 

A: I'm a qualified brain surgeon! I only do this job because I like being my own boss!

 

C: Excuse me, this is irrelevant, isn't it?

 

A: Yeah, well it's not easy to pad these python files out to 200 lines, you know.

 

C: Well, I wish to complain. I got on the Bolton train and found myself deposited here in Ipswitch.

 

A: No, this is Bolton.

 

C: The garage man's brother was lying!!

 

A: Can't blame Network Rail for that.

 

C: In that case, I shall return to the garage!

 

He does.

 

C: I understand this IS Bolton.

 

O: (still with the fake mustache) Yes?

 

C: You told me it was Ipswitch!

 

O: ...It was a pun.

 

C: (pause) A PUN?!?

 

O: No, no...not a pun...What's that thing that spells the same backwards as forwards?

 

C: (Long pause) A palindrome...?

 

O: Yeah, that's it!

 

C: It's not a palindrome! The palindrome of "Bolton" would be "Notlob"!! It don't work!!

 

O: Well, what do you want?

 

C: I'm not prepared to pursue my line of inquiry any longer as I think this is getting too silly!

 

Sergeant-Major: Quite agree, quite agree, too silly, far too silly...
