ATF change - should I change the pilot bush whilst I'm there?

[rf065]

When was it changed?
If it was late enough would it not have the latest mod?
Does it mention the part number on any paperwork or anything to cross reference with EPC?

Mine was changed in May 2008, just listed as warranty repair, no further info, sorry.

I changed both the ATF and pilot bush today.
Well, when I say 'I', what I really mean is Dave at MBS did.
By the time I'd got into my overalls to borrow their ramp, he'd virtually done it all for me! Thank you very much again Dave. Cole had scarpered to avoid me (I think!)

Anyway, just as well the pilot bush was changed since it had started to leak (2005 & 67,000miles), but not caused a nasty problem just yet. The old one had the white 'O' rings that appeared to be made of silicone (?) and were very unsatisfactory. The new one had rubber 'O' rings, far more substantial. Apparently, rubber 'O' rings were their original choice before they started experimenting with cheaper materials.

And thank you for the tea and lovely pub lunch Steve, that was lovely grub!!
