Got a v6 24v laguna on an R plate. Can drive for about a mile and then it goes beep beep, gearbox in safe mode? Wtf is this? I switch it off and i can redrive but for only a mile!
Any idea on what it could be?
Can fault codes be read for the autobox? |

You'll need to get ti code read and see what the story is.

ti = it, I type to quick for my own good thus get lots of mistakes! lol
anyway code read ren will do it, but have a look round for an auto box specialist. It may even just be a dicky valve ot a brake band needing adjusted.
Surprised its goes through 1st and 2nd though, normally they lock in 3rd. |

well ive got a leggy here for parts i.e pedal box, gearshift assy and cables.
Just need a v6 box and shafts.
or is there more to it? i.e autobox ECU linked to engine ECU or something electrically gay like that. |

yea, i agree. its gonna be an arse to find one.
The other thought i had was to put it into a kitcar, as i think its a cracking little engine. Would a renault UN1 transaxle fit it as it'll be off a 25 V6. Or does the newer v6 in the laguna have a different block to the old 25 V6/ Alpine engine. |

its a different lump.
They use the good old UN1's but the newer lot use the pk's I'm sure. Espaces etc use them.
TBH its a shite engine, wouldn't waste my time with it. |

well i was thinking 24v - lots of valve area , tidy up the head for better flow.
restricted exhaust - gains here.
triple downdraught's to suck through.
arent they about 200bhp as std. |

on a good day yes.
Only thing going for it is the low output for the capacity so its not very stressed. |

its not worth the expense of hassle to get it that far to find out. |
