In answer to your second question...
Took the V6 for a run down to Somerset and back today

The first was a small coolant leak from the transmission cooler outlet where it joins the rad. I noticed the hose was rock-hard and then found the top and botton hoses rock hard too

The other was a worrying weep of transmission oil from the LH driveshaft again. Just a tiny one

The journey to Somerset and back today shows both resolved. No coolant used and no weeps fromt he driveshaft seal (and for that matter nowhere else either

I also gave it a few beans as well, where I could. Gosh does it ever go when kicked-down to pass something



I found a brilliant fun piece of road today as well. The A303 looked chokkers so I diverted off at Sparkford (home of the BoL

It was deserted, scenic, full of twisty bits and ups and downs. A real pleasure to drive and a real "Activa" road 8)
I was staggered at just how well the V6 handles. Granted it rolls a bit compared to the Activa but it's sure footed and very poised.
If you are ever in that neck of the woods, look out for the A359 and find a reason to drive it. You won't regret it
