Nearly 10 days since the gearbox fluid change. The box is still boxing as it should In one of her lucid moments, the Mrs has said no to the dream car joining the fleet. To be fair she doesn't say no that often. She pointed out that if the Saab is going due to financial constraints, I probably shouldn't be buying another. Shes right and a timely reminder to me, that she needs a lesson in man maths.

Mine is the box with no filter ! Not sure why Ford thought that was a good idea. Re the Crank Seal - no idea if it will piss out onto anything important. Its 'slightly weeping', whatever that means. They said 'keep an eye on it' - I don't even no where it is lol Because I love the car, I will get it done. I figure it will be ok until the oil light comes on

So all forward gears work, which is a plus. The unicorn jizz that came out of it was black, so I'm assuming its never had a change. 216 quid for the ATF change, which was a good price. Over half that price was the new unicorn jizz that ford use. They did notice the crankshaft seal was weeping at the back though. That's a gearbox out job

Although I am having to tighten my belt, I have seen a dream piece of chod on ebay. Although it's crazy, I am contemplating a blind purchase, because its my dream piece of chod and worry about how to pay the bills later. Luckily Mrs Cookie is so off her tits on Morphine and Oxy, she won't notice and I won't get a bollocking

Did you resolve this? -
No pez shot. Because I forgot to take a pic Mrs Cookie took the Saab out yesterday morning. She bloody loves it and only nearly crashed once, uphill in 2nd, 50mph plus wheelspin achieved, may have ended up on wrong side of the road lol Hit a wet patch and road markings. She grinned from the moment she pulled away. Said it was like she had driven one all her life The jury is out on the loud drony backbox. She wants to experience it a bit more before she decides. Now making a list of things to improve. Both aerials, both front door window switches (Drivers is from a saloon, so doesn't drop when hood does and passenger switch not working). Not going to buy anything yet, till Management has decided about the back box.
