FEW !!!!!! I thought your car was towed by the coppers so Auto going is not as bad.....
Try and make the Auto Place pay for the Tows as well due to your Auto Failure if it is covered under warranty..... As you would not of needed a tow if your auto didn't fail!

Thats not good to hear Adrian. I hope it is not too serious and it is not the way you had run it in. It might not be covered that way if they reckon the damage is caused by yourself. Good luck buddy and I hope it works out okay.
My auto in the LTD is playing up too. If you down shift manually D..3..2..1 it doesn't kick down instead it neutralises unless you put your foot on the gas. But when you take it off again in neutralises again? WTF????

All the dealings i've had with DTM have been top notch. So you shouldn't have any trouble.
Good luck all the same
