Re: Not so quite V6
We'll keep our fingers crossed for you Glenda 

Re: Not so quite V6
Thanks for support everyone and Mike4s request for an update. The mystery bonking is being investigated now and the engine is running sweetly!!! The cause seems to be a one in a million chance and I was saving those odds for the million pound premium bond.
I do not want to say the whole story till I know for 100% its OK. So I am afraid you will have to wait for a few more days but so far so good...........

Re: Not so quite V6
I owned a Mazda 323 for years and now own a Ford Focus. Both have the same auto box, 4 speed with hold. My understanding of the operation is that 4th is essentially an overdrive and that pushing in the hold button disengages this. I have always assumed that the Bongo box works in a similar way.
