Here's a pic of the underside of mine. Not sure how useful it will be. My anti-creep solenoid is hydraulically disconnected - somewhat crudely I admit. Apparently they were fitted because drivers were not used to cars moving without them touching any pedals! How quaint!

[/quote]many thanks for the photo and from what i can tell its (from top downwards) green then fat yellow red on the one unit and then thin yellow red on the longer unit on its own..
i don't surpose you could check and confirm for me (pretty please)

Looking at the wiring diagram on this site the yellow/purple and green go to the anti creap switch and the yellow /red goes to the solenoid. Unfortunately I can't verify this on my car as I put the DG box in the skip decade's ago.

has anyone got a photo of this area ,or can get me one so i know where they all go ????

Yes, it is the intermediate speed hold for the DG automatic gearbox. Biggest issue I have heard of with these is leakage. There is an bellows inside that protects the solenoid from transmission fluid and this can perish. The good news is, this one looks pretty leak free from the picture.

That OD looking solenoid is standard on the DG. As said above the intermediate speed hold.

The gearbox looks like a DG and the solenoid is the intermediate speed hold, the item bolted to the floor is the anti creap device as Cass said so definitely not a manual overdrive.

If you have an Auto box I doubt this is an overdrive solenoid. I am only guessing as I have a BW35 box not a DG250 but could this be the "speed hold". Not sure how it works or if I am even correct but it might jog someone else's memory.
The item on the left that has the dirty wires and blue connectors attached is the Anticreep devise.

hi all, while mucking about and sorting a few other things i found this under the car.
by what looks like the overdrive unit there are 3 wires (bottom of picture) and a wire from what i believe is the overdrive soloniod that goes to no where
can anyone show me where there meant to go at all.

its defo engine oil leak it looks like around the front of the sump area but only started once i'd serviced it and put her back on the floor (mind you it was on axle stands so front was a lot higher)
could be a front seal or the sump gasket itself like a say its the first real run its had for 5 years
also tried being easy with trottle and keeping it planted (makes no difference )
the holding back isn't constant like brakes binding its hard to explain on here.
but i'll check fluid levels and go from there.
