Fits exactly in the specified interval, but seems that only vehichles sold to several specific countries outside UK are affected.

My car was returned to me on Monday after 3 weeks in the garage to get a new rear diff and i now have Transmission Fault warning on the dashboard. It felt as if the car was skipping gears and jumping up and down the ratios at times. Doesn't do it all the time but now had a transmission fault message for the first time. Is this similar to the problems others have had before a total failure of the auto box. |

I now have a car with a failed gearbox which requires replcement and guess what the parts are not available. I had only just got the car back after a 3 week wait for a new rear diff.

In defense of the spanner monkey there was problems with the gearbox slipping before the diff was replaced but i thought this was a symptom of the diff failure and not a gearbox failure.

Dont know what has caused the gearbox to fail but sure it wasn't towing a caravan. I am now in my 5th different car this month and they keep getting better. Now driving a FFRR TDV8 and its goes like stink, very comfy too and lots of toys to play with. I guess I'll have to hand it back some day though.

Now have my own car back with new auto gearbox. I hope not to visit the dealers again for a while. On the plus side i have kept about 3000 miles off my car in the last few weeks.
