if an auto gearbox only goes into reverse when cold (all other gears are fine) but not once hot. is it a gearbox problem or a sensor. car in question is a 2.5 T.D

Fluid level is the first thing to check.

as other gears are ok, would have thought that has been checked. I,m actually 200mls away from the said vehicle ,but thinking of making a bid.

Reverse does tend to suffer first if the fluid is low. Doesn't mean it's not a more serious gearbox problem, though.
