    Default XC70 newbie - advice on purchase

    there a 02 petrol auto 150K miles on ebay near to where i live

    this is what the seller says:
    as it now needs a new gear box or work on the auto gear box which will cost somewhere between £1200/£1500. It seems to be the clutch part of the gearbox as it is not kicking into gear. I spent £1250 on a new valve body which is a main section of the gear box 18 months ago so this part will not need replacing. The car will need to be collected and towed away as it will not drive (or get out of first gear anyway) at present

    Yes the car works in reverse. It will drive back and forth on the drive way and it might even get you to your destination if it is not too far away

    Could this be as simple as renewing the gear box oil, and links to pictures showing rh drain plug? I found the picture of the dip stick, which is where you fill it?

    alternatively can these boxes be reconditioned andy links to companies on the M4 corridor for this?

    I am happy to swap the gear at home as a diy guru.....
