they was just saying it in a jokey way that your reg plate is not how its ment to be and that you need to get a mk2 rear box to finish it off

I like it .... auto box is a personal choice. I've had a few and really like them.

Thats what i meant

im surprised you didnt get something to finish it off with

bob

no probs Bob, i'll get around to sticking a piece of scaffolding pipe to it one day!

I haven't got the hang of the semi automatic side of it as it changes down itself and tends to rev a lot so I just leave it in auto! the fuel economy is around 25mpg does that sound about right?

Cut these to make your wonky headlights fit properly.....

Fuel economy will always be down on a manual, but depends still on your driving style and the route you do it on. If I was getting just 25 though - I'd be looking at the fuelling etc and if there wasn't anything faulty - getting a V6 manual to be honest.

Nice job mate. MPG is woeful, get it looked at, I get more from my tuned V6!

What you will find is that the car was manufactured in 2002 and as you said it was sat around as a display vehcile. Then it was registered in 2007.

your car do as you please
