Cheers Sasha, duly noted

(*Still* not had mine done yet ...)

Mine goes in Weds, I'm a little worried that the mechanic wont know about draining the torque converter and/or wont have the car level when the gearbox is drained. But if you're cheap like me, then you suffer these worries for £30/hour!

By the way, the guy is a bodyshop wiz, there is no doubt that he knows EXACTLY what he is doing when it comes to his paintshop...

Wouldn't it be great if someone could publish a HOWTO with pictures for changing ATF??! (then I might do it myself!)

Actually, does anyone have time to publish a quick step-by-step written guide that I can use to give my mechanic a rolling start? Dieselman?

It's been covered before. No doubt Shude will provide the required search result.

In reality it's so simple everyone should do it themselves.

gearbox oil and sparks now done, changes smoother, car feels like a cruiser again

sparks + fuel filter + ATF change = £370

A service in 1,000 miles

does it ever stop?
