Yes tires being sorted.

Will be changing the fluids after I've sorted this gear issue. The only reason I havnt ordered any yet is I'm not sure what diffs it have and whether they need the friction modifiers etc etc,

But first things first I need it out if first gear smile

Code in mil was p0720 which is output speed sensor.

Just swapped it out changing gear like a dream. Really smooth. Cost £17

I'm a happy chap again. Although my drive is covered in oilfrown

Not sure oil should have come out if there it was really over filled.

Oil is also very light coloured. I'm sure the atf4 I've irdered is red hmmm.

Now the front brakes are done I dare use it for why I bought it.

Didn't even know all that was in there. I'm still averaging 18 mpg but I know the calipers were seized. Inside pads were to the metal outside pads like new.
New disks and pads fitted floating pins lubed so wel will see if mpg improves.
