Hi All, me again.
I know it only seems like I post when I have a problem, but I am a busy person with my fingers in a lot of pies.
Just had MOT at local station, (not repair garage, so very impartial ;) ), passed with flying colours but warned there was a big oil leak from somewhere.
Thought to myself, must get that fixed and then forgot about it.. :rolleyes5
Pulled up outside my house the next morning after a moderate blast up the A1M and noticed puddles of oil on road where I had driven in.. Uh oh...
Been to my local Mitsu today and the guy checked the ATF dipstick. Bit low considering the thing was filled up 1500 miles ago, but they dont do auto boxes.
He gave me the phone number for the people they contract the work out to and I rang them directly.
'Can't look at it til Saturday, and DON'T DRIVE IT AT ALL TIL THEN, those transmissions are about £9000 to replace' :undecided :sick: :uhoh2:
Is this for real, or is this guy trying to pull certain wool over unknowledgeble persons eyes (ie me...), and end up conning me into a rip off purchase?
Surely, if the leaking of the oil was that bad a threat to my pocket, the friendly and trusted guy at mitsu would have warned me there and then?
