gutted!

Evening all.

As some of you may know, i`ve just bought a mondeo ghia x to go to lemans in.

The bloody autobox is playing up now.
It`s only an intermittant fault but do i dare risk it?

Only stickered it up last weekend too!

What shall i do?

Get it to someone who knows about them really quick and find out . . . No point taking it if it's shagged and brakes halfway there.

You can always take the stickers off carefully . ..

GO! GO! GO!

Best of luck, make sure you have breakdown cover

It might be something silly

It could also depend how much you paid for it. I once bought a car to drive to Italy in. It was cheep enough but it made it there and back. I was all for leaving the thing were it stood if it broke down and hitching back
How is your auto box playing up? Is it hard to engage or very slow in its select and response? When my BMW 3 serious had Auto box problems it went from slow to respond to hard to engage in about 8 months;) Then i sold the thing as a spares and repair because i was told that the box would have to be pulled and taken to an Auto specialist.
So weigh it up brother

ive just paid my AA cover today, think you are too far in now to cancel so have it checked and get breakdown cover, my mate broke down in le mans 2006 and aa paid for train to le havre and hire clio in uk he beat me home and had half my fuel bill too lol

Cancel it???

Stuff that chaps!!

Autobox has the dreaded overdrive flashing light on the dash.
Basicly,the torque converter stops working when the light comes on and the box jerks into gear.

Only paid £300 for it so not worth doing.

Going to look at a st24 tomorrow,it`s just crap i`ve wasted £100 worth of vinyl.

Update tomorrow boys.

Just go - if it breaks down , it breaks down.

This time next year it won't matter and will be long forgotten.

You quite clearly have enough time to swap all the running gear from the ST into the stickered up shell! I'm not saying its a good idea but ...

Autobox from scrappy and cash to local garage job done or failing that just risk it take the peage's and that'll cut your gearchanges down Go on go for it! You know it makes sense.

Just cos it's got a sticker doesn't mean it's been anywhere near the place.....

Is that me or is it fate that the photo has the Memorials sign behind?
