Default Re: Looking at downgrading

No doubt all true, but with a second hand car the accuracy of the service history is unknown.
It's something to be very mindful of IMO, as the slushys aren't cheap to replace.

A proper auto service from a good auto specialist is all of the above and checking / adjusting bands / clutches as well. fitting an external cooler and bypassing the radiatio is also esential to long life. so many people think the transmission is sealed ( no dipstick) so needs no servicing. they then whinge because the auto is " un reliable"
