  I'm asking this purely out of genuine interest. We have a fleet of new automatic Ford Transits at work. They're unreliable as hell, but that's a different story.

  Want to replace my 15 plate Qashqai either with a Self charging Hybrid or 3rd gen normal Qashqai Automatic. Used of course.

Honda gave us a quote of £1500 to change the bearing and now say they can't do the job.

• Ford Fiesta Mk 5 (2003 1388 cc LX (UK)) - Power Assisted Steering Fluid Dump 27 Jul 2022 (Forum)

Due to the time difference between the introduction of the Wynn Stop & Prevent Fluid (WSP) into the mix, and therefore the ATF been at the bottom of the system, will it possibly resolve itself - more optimistically- might it resolve itself ???
