Re: We need a diesel automatic

Hi Marcus have they passed the test? "FINN" this forum put a turbo diesel into that 83 Green SWB G' Marty sold him..he was looking to sell it a few weeks ago.. I Have a 230ge auto (petrol) """good for LPG conversion""" if of interest I would consider swop for your 89 "G" ........ I understand if you pass your test on an "auto" you are not qualified for driving a stick shift transmission !!

Strange, most kids can't wait as it is either seen as Uber Cool (or Kewell) or they quite like the whole 'Old School'. *meh* kids today eh?

Just get them to watch MTV Video or some of the music channels G's galore!

Re: We need a diesel automatic

Yes strangely enough the Van is "cool"
and automatic and actually "goes"
unlike der old manual 617 girl
hence their displeasure
But as Fixwin noted they require to learn / pass their test in a manual
otherwise limited to an automatic
PS
Tsk tsk Peter
A 230 indeed :roll: , near as bad as a diesel. SWB too?
shame on you
Now a 280 already gas converted
short or long wheel base ...............that I might consider
re our motor
the new/facelifted Hyuandai 1.6 diesel automatic Ceed looks a likely runner
cheers
