I'm pretty happy after losing so much fluid two weeks ago.
I added 6 litres at the time but after draining today I was short nearly 1 litre which explains some shifting hangups I had last weekend too.
Shifting is back to normal now.
I'll see how I go doing 1-2 more changes over the coming week. I'm on call next weekend so won't be going anywhere.
I took a sample and will send it off to be tested, the fluid that came out was a little cloudy.
Finally found an annoying oil leak that was leaving a nice puddle everywhere I parked, the centrifugal oil housing was spraying oil out[emoji15]I’m thinking o ring had pinched, well hoping actually.
Ordered another filter, so I suppose I’ll have to steal the wife’s newly added D3 till it gets here [emoji2]
Ugh. You don't have a bike? [biggrin]Quote:

I loaded the car onto the trailer the previous day and left early on the Thursday, arriving before any of the workers arrived. Upon arrival of the staff the car was unloaded and I was told that the workshop was running behind, but they hoped to start on my car later in the day,or first up Friday.
Friday afternoon the flex plate, kindly gifted by Justinc, arrived but as I'd heard nothing from the shop i decided to take it in on Monday (today).
Got to the workshop to unite the flex plate and ATF with their new host, to find the car hadn't moved from where it was left last Friday. [bigsad]
Being the eternal optimist, I'd rather wait for a busy workshop than use one that is waiting for custom.
Today I did test the original speakers components against JBL and Pioneer speakers before replacing all new Pioneer TS-1600C components into the new door frames.

They've started, rang today with the good news but, there's always a but, bad news too. I've got, or I should say, had two broken engine mounts. [bigsad] Amazing, it had shown no symptoms and I was unaware.Quote:

You won't know the car when you get it back! [biggrin]
Yes, the wallet will be a bit lighter but that's soon forgotten.
He said broken and that it gave trouble removing the box.
Dont the rattler mounts have a visual check?
