You did suggest I drained according to the level, others suggested I did not... Raining cats and dogs just now, but despite the potential fail of the level plug, I have nothing to loose by draining using the level plug, I am going to capture what comes out and retain just in case. I have found a dealer and am making my initial approach tomorrow after work. I am scared!!!!! Quote:
Thanks for this, my mate is going to attempt some dark and mysterious kungfu on the electrics so this I am sure will be of great help, I am right in thinking that soleniods are changed through the side pan, I dont think thats beyond me....a small glimmer of light. the rover dealer in germany has an x part inside his business, so maybe parts will not be such an issue, theres always international bay as an option... I am still relaxed but the golden virginia (no spello here) has taken a hammering!! Last edited by Dragrad; 20th September 2014 at 00:25.. Reason: Consecutive posts - Use the edit ;-) |

![]() I do know that the solonoids can be changed without removing the box, someone will confirm that shortly I am sure.

Friend looked at car just now, he also thought I should concentrate on the ATF first before doing anything else, so around the block a few times, stuck in gear 2, up on ramps and undid the level plg, with engine running, out pulsed 1.25 liters of ATF, still nice and new looking, ran through the gears then replugged the level, off ramps, round the block again, no real differance I could tell until I ground to a holt and the LCD gear selector came up "EP", saturday I am taking to the MG rover specialist up the road, calling out the ADAC (German AA) saturday morning for a lift to the garage. "EP" will check that out later, in the mean time, no more tinkering. |

Thats my plan, shes undoing a full diagnostic on monday, trying not to think about it too much, I am kindof wishing the call to be along the lines of "found the problem, its was x and its a real easy fix" reality may well be a bit of a shock. Got a quote yesterday at 4000 to 4500 euros to change the gearbox, I actually laughed and then put the phone down before I swore (alot) Rover 75s have been around now for over a decade yet the forum leads have quoted 2.5 upto 4.5 liters for the change. Whilst I am not suggesting any of the quotes are wrong, clearly it does leave a newbie abit confused.... I guess the all important thing to do is trust the level plug and take nothing for granted. AND IF in doubt go to a pro! ![]() Quote:
Does that make your Rover 75 one of the oldest in the world? Bubble wrap it........ ![]() Quote:
Yes I checked the oil level with the engine running as per standard. I am waiting out for the diagnosis, me really hopes its a solenoid ![]() pray for me............ Quote:
Thank you for your input, minor issues before change but nothing like that I have encountered since. Also major storms have dumped on Germany the rain that missed the UK, I guess it is possable that the plenums have been overwhelmed, I do clear them every month. Shes away at the MR Rover diagnostic center up the road just now, so its a waiting game just now Last edited by Dragrad; 20th September 2014 at 00:24.. Reason: Consecutive posts - Use the edit ;-) |

![]() Due to the confusion created by some of us believing that an auto fluid change will involve approx 4 litres and others stating that it should only take 2.5 litres I have e mailed a specialist auto parts company for any info they have. I would also point out that the Haynes Manual states that the capacity is 8 litres and a fluid change is 4 litres ( they have been known to make the odd mistake)! if I get an answer I will pass it on.

![]() RAVE states 3.5 - 4 litres, start the engine, select each gear, hold it for 3 seconds in each gear, then with the engine running remove 5mm Allen socket to bleed excess fluid off.
If no fluid loss, add more until it starts to come out the level plug, refit plug and repeat the first process
