THANK YOU JOHN , some sense at last. Right, i am soooo glad you posted that back. So now i am getting somewhere. Now i KNOW something is not right. I may sleep tonight !!!! So , in short, you just select 'D' from a standing start, and ' just drive normally' , accelerate to go forwards, ease off to b...

Had the call today, they have took it out for the test drive.....my question is, this time - with an Auto in 'D' - should this car be able to take off, from a standing start, and drive throughout the speed range , no matter the terain, and just drive it normally, as in accelerate to go, ease off to ...

Hopefully just sent you a p.m. - let me know if got it, was not too sure if i have done it correctly!!!!

I agree! The car goes in the morning for the big ( probably expensive) trip to the transmission repair shop so it will be an interesting few weeks methinks - see what they come back with....i believe they do a test drive before anything so im really keen to see if they can get it to travel over 50 m...

My car has been ' lucky' in that it has spent all its non driving life in a garage of the two owners it has had, thus not been constantly exposed to baking sunlight. I do hope he can help, although i get the impression he has...

Right John, here we go !!! No straight forward fix with the washer. Got rid of the lump of sludge from bottle, bleached out. Filter was a bit filmy - now clean. ( is it not wonderful that everything can be taken apart, unlike todays throw away society). Removed jets from bulkhead - clear , still not...

Sorted :D The better half just whipped one of the horrible black plastic ends of the new blade - out slid the new rubber, my original ones were just solid in the back plate so just cut the blade down the middle, pulled the inside piece away, slid the new rubbers on ! Easy, i was just being too caref...

Trying to keep it as original as i can !!!! So yes, they are original Trico arms and blades. I have recently brought a new pair of blades with stainless back plates from CW, so should be correct size. However, there are differences - original one have the barbs that have to be squeezed in , to relea...
