Have a KS Verada with 198Ks (alot I know). Got the car for a bargain, immaculate condition.
Anyway the 2 problems I have are the electronic overdrive won't take me into overdrive, all else is OK with the transmission.
Tappet Noise, I keep reading about all oils to use, I was going to put an oil flush through and which oil should I use given the higher mileage.

Regards
Michael

the auto
undo the overdrive unit cover plate
remove ovrdrive unit and see if the drive and friction plates are worn


oil flush
not a good idea to oil flush a motor with long km

the tappets
renew the tappets at that km
use the normal oil
