I've thought about doing some towing with it, although I'll have to ad a towbar first, then perhaps a transmission cooler. After reading about that weird idlign issue, mine seems to run fine, starts up at 1,500 til the airbag's do a check, then sits on 1,200 cold, then 700 warm. Brakes don't seem to make any difference.
Well after having the rear main seal replaced one week, new silicon seal done on the rear aloy gasket the next week, I think the bugger still hasn't stopped leaking a drip of oil every 400K's, or at least showing signs of a slight leak on the bottom of the bell housing (fingers crossed it's still residue from replacing the main rear).
Mechanics had it up on a hoist running for 2 hours after pressure testing the engine and re-sealing the bellhousing, then as always, get it home, plonk on the K's... then it shows up a slight trace of a new leak they keep missing, not dripping yet, but it's slowly gathering on the bottom of the bell housing, and doesn't appear to be run off from anywhere else but the seal or from the little vent hole used to lock the fly wheel up. Think I'm just having a bad run with pin holes in the gasket sealant at the rear, or fingers crossed before I get time to have the transmission pulled out again that it goes away.
Otherwise I'm still impressed with it's condition otherwise, already used to have a 6 cylinder.
Cheers,
Gavin.
