Gearbox & Clutch
While driving the eml came on. I took it to a garage who hooked it to the computer. They diagnosed glow plug failure and air flow meter . They fixed both for 500 quid. The eml has come on again. While driving home yesterday all of a sudden I lost my gears with the engine just revving. I pulled over waited a while started her up again jammed it into drive an managed to move another few hundred yards. I did this twice more, finally having to call a tow truck it's now in the garage. I'm waiting for the bad news !!

Hi, did you find out what was wrong with your antara? The exact same thing has just happened to my husbands. I would be very great full for a reply.

Hi, sorry forgot I posted this problem I had. Well I put into a reputable local garage who said that that the gearbox had failed. Due to the Labour costs to either repair or fit a new gearbox would cost upward of 4k. I cut my losses and flogged the car for spares or repai. Apparently it is a common problem
