Ok so my signifient other was driving my truck last week. She was driving along and noticed smoke coming from under the bonnet but thought this was okay!!!! she then noticed the A/T Temp light flashing away at her but still thought this was just fine!!!!!! then she noticed it starting to drive funny to the point where at 3500RPM she was only able to manage 5-10 mph but still she thoiught this was just fine!!!!
Bottom line is she drove aprox 3-4 miles from when it started leaking the oil. I located the leak its the pipe going to the radiator at the front of the block has a small nik in it prob £3 would haqve fixed it had she stopped when she noticed the smoke. I put a few litres of oil in it but it will only crawl forward and won't reverse so bottom line is I think it *beep*!
My dilema is I always said if my box went I would convert it to manual. However I recently purchased a 94 Jap Spec Cruiser which is Auto and has just run out of MOT.
The spare one that I bought is in good nik needs a down-pipe, 1x tyre and passenger side front diff seal. It drives perfect and has a few extra's like swing away carrier on it. I did intend to sell this on but am now considering breaking it. Was sort of money is it worth to break its 94 with 191k on it engine is perfect and it has ABS but no diff locks?
Or do i just sell the spare one on and convert mine to manual???????
