| Just as an addendum to this topic, I've been doing some research of my own and spoken to an ex-colleague of mine who works for BP in their lubrication division and he recommends Castrol Transmax Dextr ... |

| I spoke to my 'oil man' who was of the opinion that yeah, 7045E wasn't anything amazing and that any Dextron III ATF would work just fine. He recommended Castrol Transmax Dextron III Multi-Vehicle, bu ... |

| Perfect! I knew I'd read it somewhere. I've a mate works for Castrol as well, so I'll hopefully have a chat with him this afternoon and see if they do an equivalent - or better - product. And naturall ... |

| And also the filters, sump gasket, etc? I've read loads on this and now I'm just confused! I've no problem with dropping the sump and doing the flushing, but can I find anywhere that sells all the thi ... |

Thanks. 
I'll post pics of what's there when I get it home and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
I'm going to try and leave it alone as much as possible, tbh. EGR removal, d ... |

| Where are they from and do they do plain ones? My new Rangie has a wee rust spot on the driver's sill which needs treating. If I can cover it up afterwards, all the better! |
