It is PF, but they did have 5-speed boxes.

Sorry, no idea, but mine (1998) was a 5-speed. IT would know for sure.
The change with FL was to put S mode in instead of the D432 selection (or was it D4321?).

Thanks for all the replies. It's a 4.2l with a 5 speed box which has done about 130k miles. The mechanic said it was pretty mucky oil and filter in the box - it wasn't doing any of the limp mode thing before the oil was changed so sounds as though it was the level. Forgive my ignorance but what is a 'ZF approved' mechanic? I am near Hemel Hempstead - any recommendations?

ZF are the gearbox manufacturer - they have service centres, based around gearbox rebuild specialists, dotted around the country. Think there's one round Herts side of the M25 but don't know the details - will be on their web site though
The gearbox needs to be pretty cool before it is refilled/level checked. Think 10 minute drive to get there = 3 hours standing around waiting for it to cool down enough! Car also needs to be perfectly level when refilled and the engine needs to be run and the gear selector moved through all positions manually with a 2 second plus pause between moves to make sure oil gets to all the right places (wheels don't need to be turning) Gearbox oil temperature must be measured with a laptop plugged in to know it's OK. Once all the movement through the gears is done the final topup can be done. If they didn't get at least 8 litres of oil in there then it's probably low. If they did and it's now slipping it should log fault codes. It may be terminal at that mileage.....

Thanks for that, most helpful. I got it back from the mechanic on Thursday so didn't drive it much, but have had to come over to Newport today. Have been using tiptronic and it didn't cut out on the way over - need to get home tonight though... Am I going to completely screw it by driving it?
