Help with my Autobox Problem

Forum: 

Ok, looking for some advice from you amazing people.

As you know (or may not), my autobox is not working great. It got water in the atf fluid.

It makes a noise changing from 2nd to 3rd
The D keeps flashing and steershift will then not work (however car works fine)

I have been told I need a whole gearbox rebuild to get it working properly, which is just mega expensive!

Car is 02 reg, 1300cc, 60,000 miles. In a public car park, car was halted untidily relative to parking bay. Intended to move car forward 2 to 3 feet to line up with white line.

Trying to get foot on brake while continuing to turn in circle with full lock at full revs. Foot on brake and car skids to halt almost exactly in same place started from with tyres almost smoking.

Getting the wiper arms off a cuore

Forum: 

Ive been trying to remove the wiper arms from my 1998 cuore to respray them. I have the service manual from here and it says just remove the one top bolt and the arm comes off. Ive removed the bolt, but even with using a screwdriver for leverage they wont budge. Do i just need to pull harder? Im concerned about damaging something using any more force so wanted to check that theres no sneaky circlips or anything in there holding it on.

Thanks, nick

Sirion Engine Light & Losing Power/Hopping

Forum: 

My '98 Sirion has been randomly losing power, making it drive like it's kangaroo hopping along. It might happen for a kilometre then drive ten kms without a problem. While it loses power the engine light comes on.

Have put it into mechanic today but I'd like a second opinion. They've told me it's probably the TPS (Transmission Positioning System) but they didn't sound too sure.
