Basicaly, I had my Vauxhall Signum auto gearbox oil changed last week... seemed better.
Today I have had my front tyres balanced. They jacked the car one side, balanced the wheel, lowered it and did the other side.
Now the car struggles to change gear and just now, I had it parked downhill............... and it wouldnt go into reverse....
Any advice please, and to cap it all we are going on holiday this Thursday.....

i cant see why it would. was it a vauxhall garage that done the oil change? the fluid in these, if its the same as the vectra needs to be checked at the right temperature with the engine running and box in park position with the handbrake on.
some other manufacturers say put it in reverse with engine off, so if its been a back street place they may not have know the correct procedure for checking the level on this model.
just a thought....work permit granted!0 -
