Default Penzance

I did recommend RM motors Longrock Penzance a while ago on here but I am not going near them again. I have an engine service urgent warning when accelerating up hill, earlier that week I noticed a tiny bit of oil leaking. They said the warning was related to the fuel filter which they changed but as far as the oil leak goes he said it was one of the driest cars he had seen for its age (106,000miles), he also told me they had topped up the transmission oil. 78 miles later I parked in a train station for over a week, when I returned there was a small pool of AT fluid under the car. Despite it being 11:30pm and -2C the AT level was around 2cm above the max hot level and looking greyish, that's quite a top up. I am glad I did my Cornwall - Chelmsford - Glasgow - Manchester - Cambridge - Cornwall trip via train.

This is not my idea of a dry car.

Back home 6 miles later I jacked up one side to change the brake pads and AT fluid started trickling out.



Search of forums then some garage time coming up.
