My thoughts dont count for a lot though...
Do you two not think the auto is worth it? I know the manual is a different machine to the auto..

Paul it's three hours or so down here and there is a spare bed.
Apart from the larger pipe flaring tools I have everything here that one would need. Can chuck the smart ou of the garage to pop the front of an Xm in to work on it.
I'll get it listed on shiply and find out transport costs.

Rear spheres will be knackered but the fronts may be passable. I've the service stuff here and it's timing belt, water pump, etc that would need acquired.
Experience tells me the back box may be knackered too.

3hrs 16 is nothing.. Ive driven to south wales (4.5 hours) spent 5 hrs there and drove home again in the same day.
I know Ive NOT got a water pump or cam belt, had to order boh these for my SD.. no need for a clutch, its auto.. shame I have a few 2,1 Clutch's I think..
