My 2.5 DSE is amazing and a real head turner ...Buy some 18"" hurricanes and get some foglights from Welcome to the JE Engineering Website

I don't like to sound pessimistic but look at these forums for 2.5 DSE cooling problems ( and before some arse starts a flame war, I'm not implying this is going to happen to you!)

To help keep it running sweetly, keep a very vigilant eye over fluid levels and neglect nothing!! Prevention is far, far, better than cure!

I hope she runs well for you, because when these run well they are a fantastic car to drive

If you have a problem with the gearbox overheating just attach a tube to the inside of the grill on the bumper and aim the exit at the radiator ...Problem solved.
