Not for the Explorer. I have to speak American. Luckily I've been watching MTV's Pimp my Ride so I'm getting pretty fluent. :)

That's a logical approach to it. You say tomato.... etc. :) I hope this language barrier won't hinder me sorting out my transmission. ;)

Hi. Swarf is metal shavings. Perhaps from broken bearings or whatever. What do you guys call it? :) I really do appreciate your help.

Aloha to you too! I think you have something here. My fundamental problem though was that it wasn't moving at all- up until the uncommanded opening in the dead of night- so I couldn't cycle the sunroof. It is a confused sunroof motor! ;) I'll get round to fixing it when it stops raining- could...

Hi. Local garage guy did not keep a record of the code #. I wish I'd asked him at the time he checked it. :S From what I've read here on the forum it seems that the 5R55E uses solenoids to provide the pressure boost to shift into the various gears. I guess the basic oil pressure in the...

I will try to get the code but knowing the way things work over here I expect he will have forgotten... :( I have been reading yours and Glacier991's posts (amongst others) and I wanted to thank you all from being there for us newbies. Especially as the UK can seem a very long way from...

Hi. I have a 1998 MY UK-spec Explorer. It has done less than 50,000 miles but has transmission problems. I was wondering if one of you guys could help me along with diagnosing the problem before I give up and take it to the shop for a GBP1500 rebuild- ouch. The noise comes from underneath the...

Last night the roof decided to open itself fully. It picked a night when it was pouring with rain to open itself to the elements. I was somewhat surprised to put it mildly! This focused my mind on getting it wound back manually. Anyway in case this ever happens to you... find the yellow slot...

Hi. I have a 1998MY UK spec Explorer with an electric sunroof. It is stuck slightly tilted open. The motor unit is made by Bosch. I see on the underside of the motor/gear housing a place for the key to go to manually close the sunroof. Unfortunately I don't have the key. I expect it may have...
