Auto gearbox - oil ? & "usual" fan issue

Hi

Sorry to post often in my first few days .... but as a newbie I have lots n lots of questions - built up over my first few months of owning a 75 - many I am sure you more experienced guys have answered time and again

such as - what's the difference between the two references to diesel engines - cdt and cdti ? or are they the same ?

Armed with my haynes I am changing the auto gearbox fluid next week.

The haynes says use Texaco N402 - my local motor factor is a comma agent and they don't make an alternative and couldn't offer me one.

I am off to the (ex)main dealers next week to buy the x3 washers for the drain plug- level hole - and filler plug and I will ask them what they use then - but in the meantime...

Any recommendations for auto transmission fluid from you chaps ?

I am taking the plunge soon and getting a new motor for the cooling fan - the haynes removal proceedure seems to say take the motor out by removing the radiator - I understood that the front bumper has to come off - anyone here been there - done that ?

pps I have a diesel 75 2001 conn se

Thanks again
