Leakdown test tends to confirm head gasket and liners are not fubarred - but the running on 5 (or hardly at all) is back - sometimes - and the flashing yellow arrow of doom is back. Gravesend Transmissions read and cleared codes - still was showing an over voltage at the mode switch, and lockup failure - but it drove OK-ish (albeit with no power) and no flashing yellow arrow until I got to 70 mph. They will ONLY do a complete gearbox recon and refuse even to consider fitting the second hand autobox that I have acquired (with a head too). Feeling rather despondent. This morning nearly refused to start at all and struggled to move over the road to car-park.
