Terrano d21 auto issue question.
Posted: Wed Apr 21, 2021 1:09 am
Hi I have a friend that has an old d21 terrano diesel auto and he tells me that its suddenly not shifting into third gear. I have yet to drive it myself so I have to rely on his description of whats happening. Apparently it goes from 1st to 2 nd ok but it wont kick up into third. I was wondering if there would be any quick tests that I could try to see if its fatal or something like a valve or sensor issue. He is not very mechanical and I have a memory of when I first bought one of these models years ago that it would not go into OD??? ended up being a minor isssue regarding I think a valve??? any opinions before I get to drive it myself would be appreciated. Things I could look out for or try to attempt to pinpoint the issue. He took it to an auto mechanic but he just quickly said no mate its stuffed that will be 2 grand to fix at least. ..... more than the car is worth . I suspect the mechanic may have not been that interested and just blew him off... cheers
