sorry to sound thick but what is ATF

ATF = Automatic Transmission Fluid.

You can check it's colour each time you check the quantity using the transmission dipstick although an increasing number of automatics are built without a dipstick.

Many thanks. I'll check it out. PWcars (where I bought it) are going to look at it for me as it is still under guarantee, but I thought it worth collecting some info before I went. Honest John wesite tells me it's a common problem & to get it to a Fedauto site. Problem is, there isn't one in Oxfordshire, so I'll see what Pwcars can do.
