Hi
I have just what seemed a strange one going down the road I came to a stop
when setting off again there was a bit of a clunk which appeared to come
from the auto box as if there was a lot of backlash. Anyway on my travels i
pulled up at the takeaway and noticed a noise like air escaping, so had a
quick look round and noticed a trial of what looked like chocolate coloured
milkshake.
Well not lot I could do at the moment so went home right sharp about half
mile.
When I was 100yds away steam from under the bonnet.
Pulled up and lifted the bonnet there was steam and the milkshake coming
from the expansion tank.
Any way it appears that the radiator has the auto fluid going through it at
the bottom end and the internals have bust.
I have remove the radiator, full of oily stuff, and so is the engine.
What worries me more is he auto box, when I dropped the oil it wasn't a nice
colour of red or dark red it was more milkshakey.
Has anybody had a similar experience?
Regards
