I was glad to have found this forum, full of information and of course with a lot of people willing to share them (not so common, here).
I'm still trying to find my path across doubts and worries for a 05 LE diesel I'm thinking about, in a good condition and used really not much.
And, yes, it's automatic... with the 31705eb30d control valve just replaced.
Even if I don't know any of you, I thank you in advance for having me made aware of "THE issue". I like the car, but now I really don't know how to do...
Hope to join this community...

PS - in Italy "the Saint" is Anthony. No need to add a single word.
