Hi all, new to the group...
My wife just called complaining about the steering being difficult in our 95 disco, sounded to me like it was cavitating/pump problems. A few minutes later I get a call saying that there was a "horrible" noise from underneath, it wont move and and putting it in park wont hold it, so now I'm thinking transmission is likely gone as well as perhaps the steering. (doesnt rain it pours!)
The long and short of this is it needs towing somewhere, I live about 230 km's from the nearest dealer (Edmonton AB) and all there is locally is a Ford and Dodge dealer. I think my autoclub membership will tow it to the LR dealer, but I'm wondering if this is the type of thing that a local shop can handle, or am I better off going to the dealer?
Also, I know this is going to hurt $$$ wise, anyone got an idea what a trans will set me back? I'm pretty sure it was actually replaced not long before we bought it about a year ago, but I dont think it was by a dealer and will have to dig out the paperwork, so in any case I'm preparing myself for worst case scenario...
thanks in advance...
