A motoring expert and mechanic has urged people to sell their cars over one warning light they may be greeted with on their dashboards. If you see this light, it's time to sell your car fast, claims a top car guru.
Scotty Kilmer, who has been fixing cars for 56 years and is a big star on YouTube, explained: "Today I'm going to tell you when it's a good time to get rid of a used car.
"Now this one has a perfectly smooth running engine but the transmission occasionally gives a big clunk when it shifts."
He continued: "Now it wouldn't do it for me in a half-hour drive so now is the time to get rid of it because fixing a 4x4 with an automatic can be a huge expense, so if you're going to sell a used car, sell it before it breaks down entirely."
"But just make sure you let them know what they're getting into." Changing a gearbox can cost between £500 and £2,500, as reported by Birmingham Live.
The automatic transmission warning light or gearbox warning light, which will appear on the dashboard of your car, "denotes a transmission issue that could be brought on by a fluid level, temperature, or pressure issue," experts at gmride explained.
The price changes depending on what car you have and how big the engine is. Instead of getting a new gearbox from the car's main dealer, garages might find one that's been fixed up already, which can save you some cash, Moneybox says.
The gearbox is important because it makes the car's wheels move by using power from the engine.
The system uses a set of gears to control your car's speed and torque, ensuring optimal performance across driving conditions.
The average cost for a small car ranges anywhere from £800 to £1,500 with labour included, Moneybox revealed.
Sedans will set you back even more - at an average of £1,000 to £2,000 - including labour. SUVs cost £1,500 to £3,000, the experts also found in an estimated cost range.
The vehicle type also gets more expensive if it is a van. A van can set motorists and drivers back for anywhere between £2,000 and double that sum at £4,000.
