Hi everyone, I got another problem...
on Sunday drive to the sea side i had / feels like gearbox slip/ and code p0730 ... after stopping the car and resetting code everything totally normal..
but (checked everyone who got the code and lots of people replaced the gearbox ) so Im looking for new gearbox , just in case.
Is my gearbox AR35 ? what else should i look for?

what do you think about http://lucasoil.com/products/transmission-products/lucas-transmission-fix should I just try it and replace the oil in my gearbox for now ? (order new one anyway)
what exactly do I need to change the fluid in my gearbox ? apart from oil (dextron III ?)

got pew problems with the car but still think its so great

3.2 is AR35 yes 

I'm not sure what that code is, (someone will tell you shortly) but oil / filter change always good and you can replace solenoid if required.

Incorrect gear ratio , I've got that on another car , changed fluids an filter an still got shift problems . I was told the shift solenoids could need replacement .

Have a read of this.. I ended up putting a new box in.

That's what i thought , everyone seams replaced box in the end with that code.
i found one for £80 + £90 postage (northern irleand) is that fair price ?

but first i think i will change the oil, check if there is anything wrong and use that transmision fix, there is lots of positive comments about that product.
well I have as well p0420 few times now about catalytic converter - the next thing to do need check suspension because is not right , puling to the one side or another and i saw in paperwork that there is very small leak from drive shaft. apart from this everything works ok ... and there is vey small amout of rust , so rust wise is very good..

0420 is practically a factory fitted code on the 3.2... Doubtless that 0430 will be along shortly. Both nothing to worry about, there's a straightforward mod to sort permanently, in the meantime, chuck a couple of bottles/tins of Wynns injection treatment into the tank and wash it down with a couple of tanks of Shell V Power

As for the gearbox I would personally avoid an Irish sourced Omega box as it's probably more knackered than your existing one

As above, and put a wanted ad in parts section, bound to be somebody got a good second hand one

AR as your post count a bit low, put a wanted ad in the test section,and ask nice admin to move to proper section

Solenoids aren't difficult at all to change but I fitted a used one that didn't last long, not sure what they are new

Check connections at the back of the battery. Two brown plugs, that can rarely come loose.
Check the lights on the Gear indicator match the gear lever position.
Check fluid level as the guide. Dex3 top up if necessary.
Check tech2 for fault codes and solenoid operation.

If any of that helps, allow the fluid to settle as symptoms may return after a few miles.

If none of that helps, the only choice is to replace the fluid completely, and hope that helps. If not it will be a waist of time as the only option left is to replace the box. Although they can be refurbed, but at at much greater cost.

Ar35 as said.

Fingers crossed.

As for the magic potion.... Let us know how you get on.
