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 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?

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.

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.
