[Arragonis]

OK - Booked in for the fluid to be checked Friday together with a few other issues.

For the past few days I removed the grill block (temps getting to 105 C) and also drove Hermann like a normal auto driver - i.e. no use of N when coasting.

Guess what ? Issues more or less went.

No snatchiness even when cold, 2nd-3rd is still "pausing" but much less than before and no jerking in other gears.

I even found Hermann behaving like an excited puppy on A-roads again - the flappy paddles are responsive (there is a Clarkson annoyingly long pause of about 0.5 seconds as usual) and changes using them are smooth again.

I have tapped that the gearbox seems like the gears are being worked by someone who is drunk and wearing boxing gloves but at least the boxing gloves are gone.

I'll still get the levels checked though, amongst a few other items...
