Can anyone help me, I would like to convert my 02 3.2 Elite to a manual, I have all the parts (I hope ) Can anyone help??

I'm willing to pay for the work and drive the car to them, I'm going away for 2-3 months at the end of this month and would be willing to leave the car with them and collect when I get back!!

Let me know!!

If someone does volunteer, they could end up with a queue forming

Hi Jim,

If I can have the car for that sort of time, no worries. Need to wait for it to get warmer, though!! And of course, I'll have to embark on a couple of "test runs" afterwards, to ensure all is as it should be..

Hi James, well the car is actually in Gloucester, I'm departing the UK in two weeks time for approx 2.5 months, so you can have the car whilst I'm away.

At the risk of 'hijacking' the thread, is the conversion worth it? What are the main pros and cons?

Depends if you prefer driving a manual to an auto,although iirc Jim has a selection of autos to choose from anyway. Main advantage from a practical viewpoint is improved fuel consumption - probably around 15% I would guess.
If I knew I was keeping my car long term I would probably do it for the MPG gains.
