Sure enough, they got another 2.5L in there! Now drives at least as well as ever while in my possession so very pleased I persevered. Driving it home was such a joy, but I'd reached the conclusion while it was ailing that it really didn't make sense to keep it.... Especially so given changed work circumstances requiring more mileage and I can't really justify a third car in our household of two just for occasional use....
Great to hear - and such a cheap fix too!

That's what this forum's for: I think that's two 8's with gearbox issues resolved in about a week on here, isn't it? Very good news indeed. Enjoy...
