considering a runabout/project

[jdavis]

Due to the issues with my p2 and the financial circumstances at the minute I'm looking at buying an 850 t5 as a runabout until my p2 is fixed. Only problem is they all seem to be autos. How hard is it to do a manual conversion on these?

Once you've driven a manual 850 you won't want your auto phase 2 back anyway

James has a nice manual

Its too far away unfortunately. This one is local and a steal of a price.

how about a 206 hdi? 60mpg and 30 quid tax can't get cheaper than that

I don't like french cars. When family members have had them they've been nothing but trouble, thanks for the offer though.

thats good going. Your missus is a lucky girl, don't think you've mentioned it tbh, is it a manual and chipped?


On a plus note, i'll be collecting an 850 T5 tomorrow all going well.
