My wife has decided she wants a G again. We have both had them for the last 7 years, and she wants one again.

Because I am building my dream G, she also wants hers; GDS auto. Did they ever make the 463 diesels in auto? I really don't want to take on another project before my pick up is finished.

If not, I will simply have to buy a manual, but what box do I fit then?

Re: GDS Auto?

They did make them but most people who purchased a diesel bought manual so they are quite rare....

Yours might be Peter :) but my G300TD auto flys (better without the cats) even pulling a 1 ton trailer.

Difficult to compare. The TD5 is chipped and is very quick. A few months ago I had a test drive in a new Defender 110 and it seemed slower than the G.

durıng our stonehenge trıp ı remember marks G300TD bombıng along on the motorway, the spider flew by in his G500 :!:

my G300 is a good cruiser but the 300 TD is quicker for sure. infact its meant to be as quick as the G270 cdi.

bruce's old G300 TD is now owned by mr sav who also tagged along with us,and his G is tweaked and it was obviously quicker than my G300 WHICH IS PETROL.
