Update...
After being away a long time i finally got my car back today.
The mechanic dropped the Atf and he said instead of 9 litres or so of nice fluid he got about a litre of what he described looked like a Frappe from a coffee shop!
The cooler was knackered and needed replacing(1st one took 3 weeks to get to Cyprus and was the wrong one! 3 weeks later right one arrived!), solinoid, new atf filter and gasket and an absolute shed load of fluid (he did several flushes with cheaper fluid before final flush and refilling with the expensive proper stuff) had the car back up and running for €1300.
He said i was lucky (although i told him luck and that car shouldnt really be in the same sentence!) That with that little fluid, it didnt do more serious damage to the gearbox.
Glad to have it back.

Now onto the alarm/lock not resetting properly and making the driver door window not drop the quarter inch when opening every now and again!
No doubt I'll start a new thread on that in a few days!
