I seriously like auto, as it allows me to almost forget about the car.

Would appreciate a 'proper' diff lock though, and i find it sits a bit low too - muchos $$ to get it raised 30mm.

Well done mate

Share with us what other site you were on... unless its full of viruses due to the explicit content on the site

Dont want loads of emails about buying Viagra, get enough of them at the moment as it is

Swings and roundabouts really.....auto a lot less tiring to drive and just as efficient, but expensive if it goes wrong, which it can do especially if its towed over-weight (towing weight is around 1200kgs lower than the manual), but then the manual needs a clutch at around £500-600 in a half-decent garage, and another £700-800 to drop and replace gearbox with a recon....you takes yer choice really.

Mazda Tippee Bongo....yes please!

Cheaper to buy a 'proper' terrano (T2), ground clearance comes free!

kbekl · 09-12-2010, 19:14

and to add with the auto t2 it is quicker and better on fuel

jezmondoveg · 09-12-2010, 23:26

bloomin heck 600 for a cluch!! and 800 for a recon gearbox!

is the auto gear box pricey too?
