When I had a look at it today it was nice and red and the previous owner still had a small bottle of it in the cupboard, along with break fluid, fan belts etc. Can't find the break fluid reservoir either ;) :oops:

Sounds like that auto fluid is probably Ok... but a couple of things to reinforce:

gwolf makes a good point. I know R0B and other auto owners have said here before that fresh transmission-fluid and clean screens/filters are the best insurance for auto boxes - and these T25 ones will outlast most manual boxes if you follow that regimen (which you can't say for all auto boxes of this or even later vintage :roll: I won't mention some Renault ones for example, Oops! :oops: )

A good rule with a new vehicle is that if there isn't hard evidence that something has been serviced/changed, then until YOU have done it, you don't know it HAS been done... :)

Just noticed our spark plug info made it onto the Wiki! https://club8090.co.uk/wiki/Pe ... park_plugs" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Can someone modify it though as the W7CC plug should have a .7mm gap as opposed to the .6mm on the W8CC's :idea:
