I like it. Looks like you won!

Well done Des.

Cheers I did in a way.... just my plate issue now.

It is more to check the headlight direction and other lights and things. Yes I thought that too but they sent me my log book through without a MOT C...

From experience with the ZF 5HP24 box from my XJ8, to get rid of all the ultrafine debris you have to dismantle the gearbox, clean it manually (and overhaul it in due course) and get a new torque converter and oil cooler. You cant really clean the converter without cutting it open. In case the gear...

All I can think of really is to change it a couple of times or suck out from the dipstick tube a couple of litres every so often and replace it so you get most of the fluid changed.
