Hi there just been looking to buy a x reg 156 , this car has been returned to the car lot as the car wont engage gears , the owner will let it go for silly (cheep) money if i get the box done my self. has any one had any dealings with problems with these ? i spoke to a friend who used to work at the car lot and he said that it will drive but he went under the bonnet and engaged gears, so he thinks its something electic ?? need advise first as the car is mint everywhere else and if its a easy fix could have a good buy..... cheers > Hi there just been looking to buy a x reg 156 , this car has been returned to > the car lot as the car wont engage gears , the owner will let it go for silly [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > gears, so he thinks its something electic ?? need advise first as the car is > mint everywhere else and if its a easy fix could have a good buy..... cheers Don't.

Yes. So much so, that most of us in here wouldn't touch a working Selespeed, let alone a broken one.

Except me. I have 156 TI selespeed with 80.000 km and it is my second 156 with that gearbox. In total: 150.000 km without any single problem. Selespeed is fantastic solution and I enjoy that. > > So much so, that most of us in here wouldn't touch a working Selespeed, > > let alone a broken one. > > Except me.

Selespeed: 200 000 km - broken gearbox chassis some year ago (repair cost: about 400 euros) :/ - didn't engage gears (ca. 600 euros) Well... can by worse :) >>> Hi there just been looking to buy a x reg 156 , this car has been returned to >>> the car lot as the car wont engage gears , the owner will let it go for silly [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >> > wow is it really that bad? is it a comon fault then??
