Hi, I genuinely love my 80 Series but struggling to get the problem with the auto box sorted. Local mechanic has had a look and thinks the best way forward is to change the box which I am not keen on as although it has 172000 miles on the clock the box should be okay?? Overdrive light flashes after approx 10 minutes plus the overdrive does tot work and it struggles to change up like it is missing top gear. I have now tried a Toyota main dealer to at least advise on the fault codes so I could get an idea on the actual fault and cost of getting it sorted but after leaving it there for an hour returned to be told that they could not do anything with it as it was too old!!!
I want to keep the car but its getting to the point where I cannot get anyone here in South West Wales to even look at it let alone sort it out. If anyone can advise on how to remedy the problem or a garage that would help than that would be great if not then it looks like Ebay and hoping it goes to a good home and not broken for spares.
It is a 94 VX UK spec car with nearly fsh so was hoping it would have a lot more life left in it.
Thanks
Del
