:) I love how you keep everyone updated on your life story.

:bunny: Selling a house is hardly a life story. Sorry, I thought this was Wasteland :rofl:

But seeing as you asked .....

Life Story entry #315 - Stagea has gearbox problems. Stuck in third gear.

Life Story entry #316 - Agent informs me I have offer of $xxx,xxx on house. Offer accepted.

Life Story entry #317 - Shopping for next toy. Have 30 days to seek new ride.

:blink:

Damn ...

Stagea is stuck in 3rd gear. A/T light flashes at me and stag drives in 3rd gear (since lunchtime today).

LOL, not you too!

The company Ford cranked over very slow (almost like a dead battery) before firing up this morning then put the tranny into limp mode.

Drove very slowly to the nearby Ford dealer and paid the guy $62 just to tell me that there were no codes logged in the ECU.

If I had just turned it off and restarted it again it would've cleared the ECU (that's all he did) but was worried the battery was on its way out and wouldn't restart. :bunny:

I'm about to do an oil change and the best I've come up with is:

and locally:

So yeah.... I'm interested in getting my hands on motor oil and gearbox/diff oil

Bloody inconvenient isn't it? :bunny:

Gotta drive the silver stagea tomorrow anyways. So the black stag gets the week off anyway.

Well autobarn quoted me $996 for a 20L drum of gear 300, and thats basically retail price. Ive emailed some companies interstate so once i hear back from them I'll let you guys know. If i can get a 60L drum, you guys can just pay me for how much you need.

Have you asked anyone about 300V Chrono?

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
