The 4 speed auto works well. You just need a better than standard torque converter.

If you want a airbox upgrade on the cheap then fit a cobra head.

From 2003 onwards they fixed most of the issues.

Re: GU faulty hazard lights
It is a different fuse mate.
The indicator fuse is under the dash.
The hazard flasher fuse is under the bonnet.
It is known to pop when used with a trailer attached. Up the fuse to 15A if it is a issue. Either that or switch to LED trailer lights.

If it is outside the bumper area it would not comply, but if everything was tucked in behind it will be ok.

A friends 3.0 pooped its dual mass flyheel/clutch two weeks ago.
She was very impressed with the repair bill. Had the car back one week.
She (as at Wednesday) is now even more impressed that it appears to have shat the standard head/piston/turbo.
They are a POS that should have never been released ...

The soot would be caused by the leak in the exhaust manifold gasket.
It is relativly easy to replace. The reason it cost so much is because it is labour intensive and takes around 6hrs to do.
If you want to know what is involved in changing the gasket then read my writeup on the subject.
