Chinese are going to take over the automobile industry for sure. Tesla who was considered ground braking is shying away from the promised small EV and moving to Taxi cars as the competition is too strong. Then comes Chery with this small EV SUV. Looks like a Mini G Class / Jimny but is fully electric.· 3 replies

Interior Specialists? Every time I go over some bumps my seats squeak quite loudly and there is a massive rattle of a nail undone coming from inside the dashboard, anybody got any suggestions I could go to? My usual mechanic just said "turn the radio up"· 2 replies

I was watching a Yangwang U8 struggling to make it up a muddy hill on Youtube. I was wondering why cant an EV be more capable off road than an ICE vehicle. Given the fact that this behemoth has 4 individual motor on each wheel it should be able to direct power to the wheel that has more grip and stop power to the slipping wheel. Cant be rocket science right?· 3 replies

I woke up one day and I now want to buy a W140. The brain works in mysterious ways. It definitely doesn't understand the concept of money since I am nowhere near affording one.· 2 replies

Question
bart simpson
Hi Guys,
We recently bought a 2004 Kia Piccanto (1086cc, auto, 45000km, one owner) for my wife. However, this car has now developed a gear box issue where it revs up in gear without actually moving. The car feels like it is in neutral even though it is in gear. I think it is something to do with the torque converter or the electrical unit that controls the torque converter.
I contacted Kia Motors (Car Plan) but they have been little help and are unable to have a look at the car as they are fully booked out for quite a while to come. I will also need to tow it there as the car cannot be driven. As a result I have handed it over to the local mechanic who has come up with various theories and has sent the gearbox over to a 'friend' for repair. I have little faith that the issue will be resolved by this guy.
Does anyone know of where I could buy or import a used gear box for a Kia Piccanto? I guess I should have just bought a vitz or a march, where parts would have been easier to source, but we decided to leave the herd and are now paying the price.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Bart
