Yup they're way off.... they went wonkey about a month or two ago alongside the adv.

I looked under the the car and the CAT wasn't glowing yesterday...
The worst it got was after a bit of acceleration... there's also a sort of vac leak sound that I haven't been able to track down/find and am wondering if this is said his..

Also,
I have significant doubt that it's the transmission.... when this stuff is at it's worst... you don't have the car revving heavy and not accelerating.... the motor looses the power and goes a bit quiet, etc.. I mean it could still be the case but I'm not seeing it... (also hoping it isn't it).

I'll see if I can possibly get to a shop today... but I somehow doubt it..
Am I okay to drive this thing like this or do I risk any damage?

Thanks,

Mike
