I get 16 a/t flashes on my dash upon starting the car up. It drives ok for about couple mins or after i hit 60kms around a/t light stays on and car goes limp. Cant rev past 2800rpm unless in actually driving and ill be going about 80kms at 3000rpm. Makes me feel sick driving the car like this. Apparently the solinoid rack inside the auto trans is gone. Im currently looking for a replacement gearbox for it. Its auto by the way. Would u know what if any other gearboxs fit in it?

Being awd makes it harder to get another box to fit straight in. You can change the extension housing and put the transfer case on rwd transmissions I am told, but I wouldn't bother.

An auto stagea box shouldn't be hard to find. Keep in mind that series 1 and 2 boxes are different and not interchangeable.

It could just need a service, the filter could be blocked or something equally as simple to fix. Why give up without dropping the pan and replacing some fluid at least.

Do you have the actual code? It should point you in the right direction at least. Even if a solenoid is gone, it isn't hard to swap a valve body over, much easier than dropping a box...

Yeah, does no-one ever take their car to a proper auto trans specialist when it stops working these days? I'm f**king astonished at the amount of "3 seconds of asking questions on forum followed by buy another 2nd hand" style maintenance work that is getting done these days.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
