  1. Yes, up on mechanical ramp, car was horizontal, we were standing underneath it
  2. Mine was losing power for a while, thought it was just getting on a bit , but mechanic found a split in a pipe, fixed it, and the car was back to perfect.
  3. Thanks for the reply. The car is out with Mrs Sunnymane at the moment, but in my service booklet it states JCR, which I think is the gearbox code.
  4. My car has done 60k miles, the gearchange was fine but because of the age of the car decided to get the transmission oil changed. The capacity is 1.9 litres, so got 2 litres from the dealers At the garage the car was put up on the ramps, and the fluid drained through the drain hole, but only 0.7 litre came out, even with the filler hole open. We were puzzled as to why such a small amount came out. I followed the advice from this forum, and put in the same amount that drained out , 0.7 litres, through the reverse switch hole accessed under the air filter housing. We were puzzled as to why such a small amount came out The mechanic put a tiny bit more oil in , and it started to come out of the box via a pressure valve, so the box is nicely filled The gearchange ( I think) is slightly smoother, even though it was fine to start with. My question is, did we do this wrong, as only 0.7 litres came out, should have been close to 1.9 litres ?
  5. 55 mpg, all the time, ALH engine, 2003 bought mine 9 years ago with 124 on clock, sold it 3 months ago with 237 k on clock, then went straight through the mot with new owner, clutch change at 110k miles, clutch was still good when I sold it went on 2 scottish hols this year, each hol clocked up just under 800 miles, car was brill ! recently bought an octy2 to replace it
  6. Just recently got a FL 2, seems far more comfy than my old mk 1.
