i still have it and drive it every day but when it sits the fluid is draining out of the tourque convertor so when i select d or r i have to give it some revs to get the pump going to fill the convertor back up than shes apples

yea im jack with the stoog trying to fix it all 4x4 send there boxes to him to overhaul but now he has asked me to take it back to all 4x4 for them to diognose it i was like hang on but they send them to him this dont make sense so i packed it went to fair trading they called me yesty to say he has spoken to all 3 parties and he wants me to take it to all 4x4 and the reason ian wants me to take it there was the car wasnt doing it when he had it so he wants someone else to see it doing it and kotara is closer, i was like so how about he stops swingin me bs and tell me that

anyway so fairtrading has decided that i take it to all 4x4 and let them diognose it than give ian anather go yes a 6th go at fixing it if he cant do it than it will go to the consumer tribunal to be heard im so jack of this i just want it going properly

if
the TC has too high a stall speed, is damaged, had a dead sprag clutch (seized or slipping) what you describe is possable and it simply means a new TC is needed.

IT could also be a leak on the suction side of the pump and aerated oil is getting pumped into the TC that will play merry havoc with everything and if the aerated oil is getting fed to the actuators and the G1/G2 pumps that provide the inputs to the brain you'll get some other merry hell.

All of which can happen if the seals for the TC and pump get screwed when you insert the TC onto the face of the box.

well it went to fair trading and they agreed for them to send it to all 4x4 to diognose the box and have anather go at fixing it, all 4x4 have said its the tourqe convertor,

this time i didnt need a hire car as we have 3 cars atm so instead of making the drive back to maitland and having to get a lift back again which is a pain i told him ill do you a deal i dont want a hire car (which fair trading ahs told him to provide if i ask for it) as long as he picks the car up from my place and drops it back here and he was happy to do that so he sent a tow truck to come pick it up today shold know if he can get it 6th time lucky by the end of the week

all 4x4 are a third party to this i take it?

yea they are, they are a land rover spares and service centre they normally send the boxes to him for repair

he told me i should have it back on tuesday and havent heard from him so i called him today and he told me that he found the problem it was a bush in the pump so much for putting a new convertor in it

Well sussed by Dave then.

I just hope it all gets sorted but if the guy was any good with auto diagnostics or was willing to share what was found when he did them this might have all been done and dusted 2 months ago.

on this one IHMO, if fair trading says you're entitled to an inch try for a mile and not one of those piddley american statute miles either go the whole nautical mile.

(incoherant mumblings about nuffers like this giving my trade a band name, testicals nailed to walls while certifications are torn up and workshops torched)

Yea I'm thinking about talking to fair trading again and asking if he can pay for someone else to do a follow up inspection coz I'm worried that something might have been damaged or worn due to the problems and k owing my luck when warranty is up it will stuff up again I'm also going to request a new waranty paper from today not 3 months ago
