I didn't use Dr Tranny's in the end. My engine had a major issue so I had to remove it from the car. While I had the engine out I pulled the TC out and sent it to Sussex Autos for a rebuild. They were brilliant! £250+VAT including collection...

Yeah, my first thought was Haldex as I had been going up and down a steep slippy mud/grass/gravel driveway that day so the haldex had probably been kicking in and I'd been using HDC on the way down (not that that any of that should be a challenge...

Tha judder at pull-away made me first think of the Haldex ‘scrabbling’ issue that can develop in some. This can be fixed by have the Haldex ecm sent away and reprogrammed - sounds worse than it is… 3 small bolts, takes a couple of days, and costs...
