My K12 automatic transmission has suddenly started rattling like crazy when in Neutral or Park, all other gears work fine and it drives without problems. Is there anything anyone can suggest for this? The oil level is OK, I'm assuming it'll be more than the car's worth to have the trannie...

Some here said you had to wait till the radio display showed 0000, but mine did not require this. It was still ---- after 1hr. I did this several times before I realised it was OK to enter code without 0000. Also it seemed to enter when I pressed Traffic, not button no.6 Might be useful to...

Suddenly the doors were locked and the drivers side door lock stopped working The door lock button on the central consul stopped working. Now I can open the passenger door from the inside, but not the driver's door, and the window controls from the central consul are working again. The lock...

Anyoen dealt with a door window that will not shut? The motor appears to be OK, perhaps the runners are worn out, or the regulator. It rocks from right to left, and I have to pull it towards the rear, when closing to get it to close correctly - otherwise there's a gap at the rear of the window...
