Denis Posted May 21, 2005 Report Posted May 21, 2005 Jusy wondering if anyone knows why the autoboxes in recent cars I've owned (Mondeo and Galaxy) don't make the characteristic whine when moving off like the old Granada/ Scorpio type used to. I used to love the sound of my old scorpio 2.9 but wasn't so keen on the whine. http://www.timetriallingforum.co.uk/html/emoticons/ChinScratch.gif Quote

Those auto boxes were indestructible! So too was the engine! Great cars. Quote
