Lost in Spain Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) Hi, I am Nick, and I live in Spain for my sins , and have done for 28 years. My wife is Dutch, and her Brother lives in The Gambia, where he owns a couple of restaurants. He had polio at the age of 14, and subsequently can only drive automatics. He and his wife come to visit us twice a year, and he needs a vehicle he can drive comfortably, so I tracked down a 2000 Subaru Forester 2 litre auto. Engine is great, car is great...but it has developed a fault less than 3 days after buying it I guessed it MIGHT...but not this quickly. Typically, it is the auto gearbox,,,perfect going forwards, but it now started making a noise somewhat like a dodgy UJ on a transmission shaft. I haven't got under yet, been busy doing other things, but thought I would ask some advice here...and how many arms and legs this is going to cost me!! Thanks for any advice/tips/foretelling of imminent financial doom ! Edited June 23, 2014 by Lost in Spain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olnick Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Hi Nick. I'm Nick too--but I was banished to Hawai'i many, many years ago! Welcome to the USMB. I know nada about auto trannies but I'm sure the gurus here will offer help. You might want to ask for "technical help" in the New Generation forum--you'll catch more eyeballs there. Best of luck and again, welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
