Well it made it back the 120 miles journey without any real problems.

The good:

Engine very smooth.
Cleaner than I thought it would be.
Everything works.
Replacement (70k)engine 18k miles ago with recon gearbox
Averaged 36mpg on the way back including traffic
4 excellent tyres/new exhaust and cambelt/tensioners done with new engine.
4 months mot and 6 months tax.


Not so good:

1 arch has some bubbling
Auto gearbox isn't particularly smooth
Glovebox lock broken.

So first job is to check the level and relavant mechanisms/switches for the gearbox.

For gearbox, look at dropping ATF  :)

Gearbox software update makes a big difference  :y

That's it! Fuse18 . I did pm him. If it doesn't require any ATF fluid or it makes no different then il go down that route. Cheers tunnie.  ;)

Just been having a read. Is there a separate ecu for the autobox?

All done via Tech2, it's near drivers kick panel. You don't need to do anything physical with it, all software  :y
