I have a ten year old car. I haven't had to buy a new engine,
gearbox, or anything else big.

You must pay attention. The car can "transformed". Replacing your auto
box will cost about the same as battery set but the car is not
transformed, just still the same as it was.


Oh, I thought you meant it was transformed from a dying heap back to the
equivalent of a new model. What does the new battery do that the
original didn't?

Incidentally while one day I'm sure I'll meet an auto box that can do a
better job than me I haven't yet. The Prius may well have such a
transmission - but it's damned expensive.
