Hi Guy's,

I've been looking for months to find my first G and due to budget will most likely be a W460 and diesel automatic due to being used daily and for work around the city.

Ideally I would love a OM606 conversion for the extra power but again due to budget I think it may be a standard 300GD. 

Finding a 300GD automatic in any condition has proved particularly difficult but I have located a lovely 300GD manual.

Is it a big job to switch the manual gearbox for an automatic?

I have located an automatic box but are there other parts required?

I will be having the work carried out by a mechanic so I'm worried about the cost of labour and the difficulty involved in the conversion for someone who does not specialise in G's.

Thank You.

I'll upload some better pictures of this car tomorrow.

This car is an absolute no-brainer considering the standard of work, compared to the rubbish that's out there at similar/more money!
