The auto is doing fine, absolutely no issues after 800 km so far. Other than a few electronic errors which John sorted out, the car is a blast to drive. And I have been testing it out thoroughly (i.e. driving hard)!

Having said that, the engine does get pretty hot still, and there's that droning noise (from the oil scavenge pump?) and rough "bubbly" idle (around 900 rpm, warmed up).

Perhaps Don or John can chime in on these things.
