I might have the opportunity to have the above car. Any one have any advice what to look for? Looking for something cheap over the winter while I get some jobs sorted on the R. Cheers

Never seen one with a manual box, thought all the 3litres had auto's, if it is a manual then it is a rare beast indeed. The only pointer I can give you really is don't be put off by rinkly door covers, they're all like that.
what for commuting in?
Apparently there are some V90s out there with manual boxes, but they are as rare as rocking horse poo.
I[quote=t5frankie;424011]what for commuting in?[/quote] Yes mate and running to the skip with the trailer. Destroying half the houseat the mo so will come in handy . Lol
I thought they were all auto but I know there are manuals in the states. Might make a better towcar forxthe caravan :)
As far as I was aware the 2.5's were the manual's, either way...the fuel consumption will make you think your T5 is a diesel,lol.

[quote=Joolz_850R;424049]are they that bad? The R only manages 25 on a good day :) thought they might be comparable.[/quote] Yup, I've had loads of T5's now and the 960 was awefull on fuel, especially as it was so far down on power compared to a T5
Ah bugger, that may scupper things a bit......Was looking for something cheap, RWD for a bit of fun and towing the trailer. I quite like the... I think 760?? but not many about. Are these much better on the gas??
