However, last night I drove the ute (my wife usually drives it) over to my sisters and it was clunking and grinding it's head off. Every downshift is a CLUNK .. and now it's developed a nasty grinding noise sometimes when it takes off. Sounds/feels like it's coming from back of the auto? Sounds like the engine is strugging to push against something which is binding then eventually the car starts rolling at it's OK??? I'll be calling the auto place again first thing this morning ..
And finally .. when I get home last night and go to lock it, the passenger door will not automatically lock. It just makes this clicking noise. The car thinks it's locked, but I can just walk up to the passenger side and open the door. Great .. just what I want ..
Is door problem a quick/easy fix with wrecker parts?
(BTW: Did I mention I'm getting sick of repairing stuff on this car!!??)

thats bad luck mate ,the door lock thing does sound like a wear an tear thing, could the grinding thing be handbrake dragging/grinding? hope its easily resolved.
