Hello everyone.

Can anyone with superior knowledge help me? I have recently bought a 2.0l Capri with an auto box. I have completed a fair amount of work on the car and it is really starting to look good. I do however have a couple of issues that I could really do with some help on.

The first I think is fairly straight forward. The car has overrun on the engine when I turn off the ignition. This has only started happening since I replaced all the serviceable electrics. I think the timing may be out? Can this cause the engine to run on? If so does anyone know the timing settings for this engine?

The second is more serious. The auto box is leaking auto fluid (red in colour) from the join between the engine and the bell housing of the box. I suspect that a seal may have given up the ghost but I'm not sure unless I take the box off. So my question is does anyone have a diagram of this box and is there any replaceable seals? Is it a job that I can do? Oh and where can I get parts for the box?

Any help would be really welcome. Cheers Guys!

 

Hi mate, it's shite that no one has answered this for you.

It would be better if you posted it in the 'Technical Help Q & A' section, which is further down the main page. Someone with a bit of knowledge will help you there.

This 'General Discussion' section that you've posted in really isn't much help at all for technical stuff. But if you have a question about Big Brother you'll get an answer right away!

 

no i'll put a lot of technical questions in here and so do many others you get a quicker response in here but also some wrong ones to, but i guess that is all just opinion, i'm sure you'll have you answer too, a better headline would help though because obviously people will answer stuff that seems to look interesting or challenging
