    The old bus is just sat on my drive at the minute, id love to convert it to manual but dont have the funds

    How much would i make if i broke it, i fancy a manual 850 t5 again.

    if you are gonna buy another then surely you will want all the extra goodies you have on yours already to swap over to the new one

    Personaly mate I'd hang on to it until you have a little more money, then buy a cheap manual and use that to convert your own, the rest could be sold to pay for the purchase of the car in the first place. You don't realise how boring a standard car is again until you go back to one.

    TBH lee you would be better of selling it because of all the hassle and space it takes breaking them up and then the parts arnt fetching the prices they used to your main two things that will sell is the wheels and the bumper but they dont fetch loads.
