Without getting into a public slinging match, I know who I trust with engine & I also know who whiplash trusts with his,& if this is the same mechanic oz67fb has used then I'd be confident you have not been ripped off, that it is money well spent.

Charlie, thats not a big problem. I think you will find that the torque converter has drained down and the fluid has come out of the overflow.
Its not supposed to happen but I think at least 60% of C4's probably do it.
It will only probably only happen every now and then as the motor has to stop on the right stroke for it to happen.
cheers

Yeah good, enjoying a great long weekend now. Got toasted yesterday doing a wedding as a favour, it was at least 42 degrees and we started at 1:45 and I got home at 7:00 pm!  I was sh!t scared the thing would pop, but fortunately it held together, would never have taken it out in that sort of weather normally but you can't back out on someone's big day.  Today was much nicer and we spent the day with about 20 cars cruising for lunch and then afternoon tea up in the hills.  Hope you have a good Australia day.

I've got the RRS set up with power steer and a new ford pump so it's pretty efficient, but no air con, could have used it anyway, would have pushed the car into orbit!

Ahhh nope.......sorry........not likely...she is staying where she is for a while before making the trip across.

You wouldnt believe it a mate of Amy's delivered a Camaro (sorry for swearing) to Perth over Xmas and drove back empty....talk about BUGGER!. Fully enclosed trailer driven by a car nut who builds cars....only issue he loves that brand previously mentioned.

Have a look at his handiwork
