| Sorry but I think you will find that anti stall works in 1st & reverse in Low box only. The idle speed in these gears is also increased. It most certainly does not work in all other gears. |

I think you'll find it's pretty much normal, my 90 certainly warms its transmission although I don't know the actual temperature. The handbrake will heat up through heat transfer.

| You could lok at the upper shock absorber bushes, you'd get the knocking reverberating through the body. A lower one has just gone on our August 2010 110 so sometimes they don't last long! |
