i was planning on getting my ATF and crank sensor changed, wanted to know if any OOFer would be interested in doing the job. if close to Romford i can come round or vice versa (pay for fuel). i rather have it done by someone whos done it before thats all. Please PM me if interested.

DIY Stallion. Crank sensor takes 10 minutes.ATF change isnt difficult,just messy.

Thanks Albs, had a go and did it in about 20mins, thats due to jacking the car up! 
Now to have a go at ATF? Am i looking for dexron II fluid, if so how many litres do i need??

I believe the fluid spec should definitely be Dexron 111 specification for the ATF .
With a Dry autobox, it specifies 9 litres of Dexron 111 needed, but when dropping both front & rear sumps, filter and gasket changes then you can only get about 6 litres of fluid in initially. (unless you can drain all the fluid still in the cooler pipes as well).

I had my autobox ATF changed recently and then  checked again after a further 500 miles of usgae  and managed to get another 1.5 litres in.

I must admit I have noticed such a differenece since the ATF fluid has been changed...all nice smooth auto gear changes and gearbox much quieter. :-)

good luck.

The EML light came on which indicated for the crank sensor, now that iv changed it and have driven around a bit but the EML light hasn't gone off. Would this over time go off or would need to take it of with a Tech 2!

Re changing the fluid, Sassanach had a way of doing it that changed the lot, something about feeding it in from the front with the engine going and waiting until new fluid came out ?. Sorry I can't find the original thread.

I think this needs 20 or 30 starts before going out, else cancelling with a reader. Strange, my spanner light came on, I restarted the car once and it went off
