Hi All,
53-reg s211 E320cdi AG. 170,000 full history.
I got a the phone call this evening!
The car used to get stuck in gear on kick down to start with. This carried on for a month or so. If you turned off the engine and restarted it would be fine.
On Christmas Eve the car went in to Limp home mode and the gearbox was stuck in 2nd gear. The car went into Star Motors, who have been brilliant on the 2nd of Jan.
They changed the Speed senor, oil and filter a couple of months ago due to another problem and this week they have tried changing the valve bodies etc.
Well that did not fix the problem. When you kick down the car gets stuck in gear and then you have to limp home!
Now a full rebuild is going to cost £2000 including TC.
After having spent over £1400 already on suspension, gearbox, boot latch and other bits within the last couple of months.......I feel gutted.
I also have an sbc that will need doing soon as well!
