The aircon can't be done there, it needs a regas as Andy emptied it to do the engine. I think I was quoted about £50. The matrix could wait - it gurgles and drives me insane, and I like things right. The nano lads could probably sort the ABS as I know Arctic is good with bearings etc. She would need plugging in to find the culprit, though. I can't find the PM from Andy on how to do the gearshift, so you'd need to PM him! If you press the button on the selector rather than pulling straight back it always seems to get drive right off. Feel free to speak with Andy and Arctic to make sure she is what you want and you can finish her - because as my ad says, she does need finishing off.

The selector sometimes goes into neutral not drive since the engine change Brian - I spoke to Andy and he says it wants adjusting due to everything being out. I can't recall the procedure though...

Speak to Andy about it - he will tell you more than I can. I think it does require someone rolling under the car, though. It didn't sound a big job, but I was scared to mess it up |

A 13mm spanner and ten mins to adjust the gear selector cable that’s all that is needed, no transmission issues on bones to be worried about, the gearbox is silky smooth.
