Hi i have a 2004 td5 auto
just after i bought it the oil departed from the auto gearbox
had new oil pipes fited now 4000 miles later i have no reverse and am not sure i have 4th gear the transmition temp warning light came on a couple of times then goes out and help would be appreciated

Hi there, the first thing to do would be to check the current oil level in the gearbox. To do this you need to start with a cold engine:

1. Start the motor, engage all gearbox position in turn and allow each one to settle for a couple of seconds before moving on;

2. Put the transfer box in Neutral and the autobox in Park;

3. Get underneath the vehicle, find the autobox fill/level plug (on front side of autobox) and undo with a Torx bit, the size is 50 from memory;

4. With the plug removed there should be a very small flow of oil coming from the hole. If there is none, top up with Dexron III until there is a flow.

5. Replace the fill plug and you're done.

Good luck

Dave
