If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

The MK1 of anything is always the "best" one, before they find a way to make it "better" by cheapening it.
Think MK1 escort, I suppose RAV4, Subaru Forrester, Jimny (as in SJ10) Land Rover, Range Rover & Jeep Jeep are more appropriate for us.
That said I'm waiting until they ramp up production enough that I can get one with an incentive rather than at a premium. I should get another 2 years out of the current one without much trouble.

Does it?
They definitely won't go into lock up until they are hot, but usually the holding the lower gears thing is more to warm up the catalyst quickly and get the emissions down, the Vectra used to do it (I used to think I'd got it in sport mode somehow) , and the [strike]Renault[/strike] Nee-San does it, but they would both go into 4th quite a few miles before they would lock up in it.
