ZAX5 is on a distinguished road
Mechnic had a look

I drove the car to the mechnic I prefer using, that was a 1200 mile round trip.
Was paid for by work as I was doing a contract near to the mechanic.
He found a few issues
1. Front suspension. Bent control arm, replaced that
2. replaced the front left wheel bearing
3. replaced engine oil and filter
4. checked gearbox oil after I filled it with ATF6. Looks fine
5. Cleared all the codes with his newer ODB2 reader. Also sent me a list of erros proir to clearing them all
He says the car is in good shape, just a few parts need replacing.


He also mentioned to leave the thermostat out, as the car runs cooler than with a stat. All it does is use slightly more fuel, the oil gets up to working temp.
