I feel daft now. Lol.

I never even realised. Yes I have a plus and minus side and if I move it to the left I can go up and down gears.

My first automatic and only had it 9 months. Learn something new everyday. Thanks

Not that I plan to drive through deep water, but I've been watching videos on YouTube of cars getting stuck in water and it has made me curious.
To cut a long story short don't EVER try it , it could so very easily give you a £12000 bill

i have done quite a few engines over the years written off by sucking in water and bending con rods . some will have a slightly uneven idle after going through water and it can be very difficult to diagnose and turns out to be a bent con rod .
