I'm shocked anyone would drive their car and not check the fluid regularly .
My rebuilt tranny seems fine , so far it hasn't needed topping up .
Victor is always helpful and he re connected my leaky central locking , this means if I drive with the driver's side door unlocked and shut off the car , I have to walk around to the other side and manually lock it and the trunk remains unlocked .
So , to - day after I did the routine LOF service and de greased the engine , undercarriage and driveway , I re - disconnected the central locking after making sure to shut it off with the doors locked , now my trunk is safe again .
Nothing but spare quarts of ATF & ooil in there , along with Diesel smoot residue I need to clean up .
To - morrow I take SWMBO's '82 240D for it's routine LOF service .

2. Had a drip, drip leak out of the power steering pump. Couple of mechanics wanted to piddle fiddle with the pump. I chose to try Lucas Power Steering Leak Stop. It has stopped the leak so far (2 weeks) - hooray for Lucas.
3. Transmission was slipping. Thought I would have to take it in to "Victor" for a post fix adjustment. While checking the dip stick, it were dry as a bone. Two quarts of trans fluid solved that problem, but raised concerns about a shop that fixes trannies, but doesn't run the car and then top off the fluid.
4. Shockingly, I went 320 miles on 12.0 gallons (26.6 mpg). At the moment I will say it is new tires, properly inflated, and superior driving skills.
