Yep a couple of oxygen (lambda) sensors in the exhaust have gone toes up, not unusual, it happens 
Quote:P01131 - TCC System Performance. Torque converter slip is greater than expected.

That would make sense if lock-up clutch has disintegrated

Gentlemen, I am so torn at the moment. I am looking at that beautiful car just sitting there with £1k worth of repairs needed, and the hire car sitting in front of her, and must make the decision of what to do. I have spent hundreds on putting things right, apart from the bumpers which need some attention but we need a car right now.
The engineer said she is in excellent condtion, and she is crying out for someone to take care of her. I couldn't bear for her to be sold for scrap. Is there someone on the Forum who might be interested? I can't believe that I am so attached to her. never felt like this about a car before

Gentleman, you have been really good to me and done your best to help. I have spent the last fortnight trying to get a mechanic organised, but, after hiring a car for a month, a decision has been made. I have decided that my lovely Scorpio will have to go. We have bought another car and can't afford to keep both insured.
Nadia really is too good to go for scrap. Her bodywork is in very good condition, as is the inside. There's 87k on the clock, not a lot for an N reg. A lot of work has
been done on her. Just this one big problem. Is anyone interested in her or should I put her up for sale?

That's really sad to hear. I suggest you put a post in Cars for Sale and indicate where you are in Staffordshire. It really is a shame to see these cars go.
