    HELP! Auto gearbox problems...

    Autos have five gears [four gears and overdrive gear] and not four as most people think. It goes into fourth at about 28 mph unless you accelerate hard. When you hear the revs drop [you say it half locks up] that is the box going into fourth. You then hear the revs drop again that is the box...

    300 tdi mpg improvement

    I used 80/90 gl4 comma gear oil. They sell it in Wilkinsons for £3.28 for a litre bottle. I think it takes 7 litres to do transfer box, axle and swivel ball joints. If you do yours then get one of those little hand pumps[only about £1.50] it will make it much easier. I tried just sticking the...
