Do you have a record of oil changes before 2014? Thanks!
Just coming back to this, dealership service at 10,511 in May 2006 and at 25,476 in July 2007.

That's all the documented history I have from my father in law's ownership although I do know it was serviced between then and when I bought it from him. I wouldn't have bought it otherwise, even at the paltry trade in figure he was offered for it.

Behaves very well. When I first had it remapped I noticed it hung on to the revs slightly longer then it used to, even when driving gently. I don't notice that no though to be fair.

I had the gearbox oil flushed and replaced before getting the remap done and asked the garage to let me know the condition of the ATF. My biggest fear was blowing the gearbox up with a remap if the gearbox wasn't in good condition.

They advised that the old ATF came out and have them no cause for concern.

It's a sad day. The auction ended last week and the buyer came to collect her today.

Very sorry to see it go but there would be no point keeping her for the sake of it. It was a sad moment watching the car drive up the road.

Very pleased to say that it's a forum member who has bought her. I hope she serves you well.
