Thats car as nothing more that my 1998 R Reg Black MV6 and I only payed £711 on ebay,
And I got my mine with full irmscher bodykit and since owning it I've fitted irmscher suspension and irmscher carbon steering wheel and carbon door handle inserts

It has a real gearbox though, which makes it worth at least four times as much in my book :P

That seems a lot of gearboxes, we have a Galant 2.5 Auto 135000 miles, a flying machine and the gearbox is fine. :o :o :o

In a nutshell, thats why the late version 3.2 is only available in manual form in police spec to satisfy the original Home Office requirement specifications.....

I'd imagine they're bog standard pads. There's always loads of plod cars in my local dealers having the service sheet ticked off being serviced.
Apparently the 3.2 Vectras can get through DMF flywheels for fun.
