CX Photos

Unread post by jwalshe »

Hello all,

Couple of photos of the CXM Rally and some of the (almost finished) Prestige I took last week in Cornwall:

Rather upset about the auto gearbox failure but at least I got a decent road trip in first!

Best wishes,

James

Loss of forward gears (D,1 & 2) but still engages reverse. Gearbox oil level was fine - even topped it up just a little to be sure.

I'd taken a gentle run all the way to Cornwall, wafted around for a few days near St Ives and the gears started slipping up hills. Got progressively worse until I had to abandon ship in a layby on the lovely St Just to St Ives coast road. Can't think of a better place to break down but still... I'm pretty devastated after a year of painful work to have something like this happen.

She was running so beautifully too. I hadn't stopped grinning! AA took it the 200 miles to Tony Weston's place so hoping there'll be some good news soon. Four glorious days of driving a CX again and the good times have been cruelly stolen away!
