Hi all, recently got a 1996 p38 2.5 DSE (and I see what people mean about the performance!)
Was just taking it for an extended drive to find any probs before handing over to the other half for winter - cruising along the M4, just got past J18, going up the steep hill, started feeling even more sluggish then
BANG
Thought the bastard engine fell on the floor! Pulled onto hard shoulder and saw the Prop resting on the chassis. Currently waiting for a lift home from the AA.
My main concern is that even though I can get the selector into R, N, and D, and the light shows up corresponding with what's on the dash, no amount of force will put it into P, and I can't get from 3 into 2 either.
Is this a gearbox issue or just selector cable?
And in before Datatek yes I'll be checking the VCU!
