Renault Scenic - Auto Gearbox problem - leeingrove

Hi

I bought this car yesterday 2007 78k miles, (3rd may) and seemed fine with the test drive, D goes forward as it should as does R. But when on a dual carriage way The Check Gearbox warning came up and I noticed that it only travels in one gear, even getting upto 65mph (is that even possible).

(Manually and I'm confused as doesn't matter up or down only the gear its stuck in drives)...

Any help please

If you bought it from a garage/trader then I would suggest that you take it back to them and reject it and get your money back. They are unlikely going to want to repair it as that will probably cost more than the car is worth. Sadly if you bought it privately then I think you have discovered why the owner was getting rid of it and unless you can prove that they have misled you regarding the fault with the gearbox issue then you will either have to pay to have it fixed or cut your losses and offload it for whatever you can get for it.

I don't mean to be rude but didn't you notice the lack of gear changes on the test drive?

As beens said if you've bought this from a dealer then return it at once. If you bought privately then the first thing I would do is check the gearbox oil for the correct level and colour.

If you have to pay to fix it, you should visit a member of http://www.fedauto.co.uk/ who can deal with your problem competently and effectively. As usual - I have no connection with the above.
