Just out of interest, does anyone know what the average life of the 24v autobox is in miles before failure?
Whats the longest record? Anyone know?
Just trying to forecast the failure of my own!!

I believe there was one owner on here who had racked up 300,000 miles before selling the car!

Fitting a biger oil cooler could help a lot when towing. The brake band will not burn in hot oil.
