Another great day at Zed Shed Midlands LTD.

My shoulders ache like f*** with pumping the oil back into the box and axle, but that's all!

The 4 is effortless just foot down and smile as it takes care of the gear changes,just no engine braking when you lift off the gas....

The auto box does have engine braking as I was playing with ours today, when going downhill and you touch the brakes it will change down at least one gear and if you brake harder 2 gears and slows quite rapidly and when you start to accelerate again it goes back up the gears so quite sophisticated for 16 years old . The current 8 speed is absolutely brilliant the only way to know it changes is to watch the rev counter Sport+ is a bit more hectic.

Perfect box for cruising and fastish road.
 
Need to get the DA on mine before Sunday. Can't have Reggie out shining Monty

Would love to make it to one of these days if only
