Hiya mate,
Welcome to the forum

anyother symptoms before you lost Drive, did it start snatching going in and out of gears,
as the car been left parked on a slope ?

no it wasnt parked on a slope ,also no snatching ,and it still has reverse ,
have disconnected the batt over night ,hopefully wipeing the ECU might help,

autos are a bit tricky, especialy this frosty weather makes some autos go iffy

[irishdanny]

would it have anything to do with
electrovalve controlbox ,as it was really really wet over here and had to drive in large puddles,

couid be,
all you can do is realy : anything going into the box with a plug on it soak it in wd4o and hope for the best,

Normaly if its a fluid problem , it wouid of been snatching in gears or going lazy
if its just gone like that, theres something electrical amiss id say,

idealy you couid do with someone how as diagnostic equiptment, theres amember here on the forum whos got PP2000 hes from Eire but not sure if hes in your location might be worth asking him if he wouid hook it up for you, ask Farmer p

[irishdanny]

and again cheers mate,
danny

[lozz]
