Re: TDCI auto

Well we ended up getting her a November 2015 TDCi with 72,000 ks. Full service history and it was (don't ask me why) an ex Toyota fleet car.
She had it 5 weeks and did a whole 300 ks before the dreaded Transmission Limited Function flashes up and it goes into limp mode. 3 times in 3 kilometers.
I checked the codes and came up with a generic P0766, shift solenoid 'D' performance or stuck off.
Lucky it's still under the statutory warranty. Toyota told me to book into the 'experts' Ford and they would pay. Apparently, and I quote Ford, 'there's more metal than oil in the transmission but the oil was clean so it's been serviced'. Toyota said to put it on a tow truck and return it to them.
At this stage, I have no idea where the car is or what Toyota are going to do. They didn't return my call on Friday so I'll ring again tomorrow. Fingers crossed for a good outcome.
