Thanks mate. I had the garbox oil and filter changed less than two years ago (at 110k) after being made aware of the "troubles" associated with them. Since joining the forum and reading some of the experiences my paranoia has probably increased but I'm also extremely thankful for all the information, advice and tips given by the people on here. I've been introduced to a local company (that my independant uses for all gearbox matters) and the old guy really impressed me with his knowledge and views within a 15 minute phone conversation so I'm thinking of taking it to him for a "health check" anyway, prevention being better than cure are my thoughts.

However, it'll have to wait until the car fund builds back up again, it's been an expensive year so far
