HWS problem
(Preview)
This has been probably done before, but asking for a mate who has a New Age van and his HWS (Swift, I think) is working how he describes as fluttering, on gas only. It does not fire up with a normal boom, but seems to go up and down in strength. Any ideas? maybe the Regulator? Cheers Bob

Just want an idea for the cost of 6speed auto trans. service for my car, getting some wildly different quotes from the centers I,ve asked for a service, understand that a flush is more costly but would probably go this way because of towing,

The only reason to have it done is to get the stamp in the service log book for resale value. I have the list of the items they are supposed to check, and I know it doesn't happen. There's...
