So worth checking the condition of the cooler and if going to be used a lot for towing I would fit a fan, easy to obtain from a breaker.
P38A 2.5 Auto DSE gearbox knackered?

I will definitely be replacing the cooler for one with a fan, I assume the wiring will need to be retro fitted somehow?

Easy enough job, as well as the fan you need the temperature sensor, wiring details are in RAVE or I can tell you what needs doing.

The box has been changed for the later version or a later version sump has been fitted. !997 should have a dipstick. Cooler fan and no dipstick 1999 and on.

I may take you up on that offer Datatek, me and auto electrical works don't always see eye to eye shall we say.
That said I will have a look at Rave.Where does the temperature sensor go/fit? I rightly or wrongly assumed that it would be in the cooler.

Thanks wammer, I had read somewhere that it should have a dipstick on that year but I couldn't find it.

The clutches are paper thin, so once they start slipping that's it..
There should be a magnet in the sump which pics up foreign matter, has the sump been dropped?
Usually it'll have a nice film of grey/black gunge if it has shagged itself..
4.2 litres should come out the sump with a standard service.
sounds like low fluid to meh..
