Hi it seems to be loosing pressure and slipping intermittently possibly the same o ring as syncros8 it's the same FBG code and the Milage is 176k I know it can't last forever. And I have always been prepared for a rebuild. The MAF a new genuine one, the f125 is recent I've had a 17114 (gear ratio monitoring incorrect) code I can drive it take it easy and take my time, no heavy or fast throttle. I'll get it on the ramp and check the oil level, I think I've checked everything else. I'm not opposed to the service exchange box for piece of mind. But I have 5 cars & 2 motorbikes that have to share my measly income. So have to try and get good value for money. If ZF will sell me the parts I can remove it myself and strip and rebuild it. I might not like doing it but I have access to facilities and a great group of friends. And if I can't do something then normally I know somebody who can. Thanks for your input on the manual conversion very usefull thanks, to see what I can buy and what needs making.
Cheers Dave
