Having changed the transmission oil last year and having many months of trouble free motoring I knew I had a problem when the dreaded 'bong' 'transmission overheat' returned.Having read Haylands comments to change the oil cooler ,thermostat and radiator I thought I had better investigate.The radiator had a 2010 date to it and looked excellent and water passed uninterrupted but the oil cooler[heat exchanger] sprayed in my face when I put the hosepipe to it .With a new cooler,and thermostat fitted along with the service belts that did not look good I hope I have managed to sort it .

Now fit the 80deg stat mod and you will be really cool...  Pete
