If the gearbox was in limp, which sounds like it was if it just picked 1 gear, there will be codes in the gearbox.And what codes are in the engine and gearbox?
No codes or warning lights.....the car just got very hot after a while at 50 MPH, which is 5000 rpm in second gear.
Personally I found the resin ones to be poor, I bought these and fitted them, no worse than the originals and should last the life of the car now, certainly been OK in one of mine for the last 3 years.Yup, look better than resin ones, good find

It's NOT the 10th till SundayThose were the good ol' days, when you'd get it MOT'd only so you could buy the tax from the PO....
unless you mean another PREVIOUS month or year
if self levelling Xeon then is the sensor on the wishbone functional.MFL CDX will be halogen, unless retro fitted (and I dont know any retrofits that bother with the levelling )
Heater matrix is also a possibility. I currently have similar symptoms due to a small leak at the matrix.I would have thought you would have smelt it if it was heater matrix?
Which reminds me, I really must get off my arse and replace i soon.
Only use it occasionally, so havent been desperate to do the job.
They always go faster with a fresh MOT!But still not as fast as a hire car. Even if it is a 1.2 Corsa, with a turbo, apparently.
It was all the reading you did when in hospital for ages. Stick to that excuse, saddoI remember The Sweeney using the MkI Consul but didn't pay any attention to badging was it the 3000GT model they used?
Yes, I believe so. The 3000GT Consul was eventually replaced by a Granada 3.0S before the later MK2. I really do need to get out more.
There did appear to be a duff batch a few years ago, a few people, myself included, got caught out........
HBV is quite new so not suspecting that either.
I wouldn't completely dismiss the HBV, as my original on my 3.2 lasted around 80K miles but it's replacement lasted less than 5K miles. The replacement was purchased from a main dealer and the box had the hologram on it. The second replacement was still OK when I sold it. Worth checking using the max high temp, max low temp method.
