great doesnt sound to bad i guess sorting clutch and brake pedal and cables is probably the biggest job,im in tipperary ireland so will have to get a scraped on here,is it best to look for a diesel or have the 2.0,2.2 petrol the same manual setup?

im pretty sure youll need a TD g/box due to the bellhousing, youll also need a spigot bearing for the end of the crankshaft. :y
