and definitely worth all that hassle

I agree Cem  but I suspect that you've miss read the question! 

Vamps wants to remove a pedal  .......... not add one 

[Marks DTM Calib]

Its often been said on here that the diesel omega engine and autobox is a horrible combination.

So why is the Rover 75 2.5TD Auto a popular car, same engine and gearbox? a car I have pondered about.....

Because they dont exist and hence everybody wants one, the 75 uses the four pot 2.0.

The straight six would never fit in a wrong wheel drive car of that era.

was not aware till you warn me 
 
but why someone  wants to convert a manual to an auto is beyond my understanding

Quite a big job yes,and why would you want to ? probably lose at least 10-15% on fuel economy.
If you want it done it might be worth PMing Serek as he has done a few iirc (although more likely the other way round,but ame principles & methods etc).

Because swmbo, and me tbh, will now only run an auto as an everyday car, and there is a rather nice heavy oil Mig estate for sale, but it is manual........

It wouldn't be this one by any chance

That might be one of a couple I am looking at.........

I think Seth is looking at that one too

its quite possible to do - just the reverse of an autoectomy with a bit more wiring.

I'll even save the parts for you next time I do one if you'd like. Actually I've got one to do next week.

the BMW diesel isn't exactly a nice engine and its a bit overmatched to the standard Omega auto, so you'd need to buy a manual diesel, a gearbox from an auto diesel and a gearbox from an auto 3.0 or 3.2. BMW auto engine and gearbox ecu needed too.
