Haha no not a stickler for autos . Just not a single manual estate for sale in ireland . Cheers lads ya im well happy with it and @Andy its really nice to drive in fairness . Very smooth and feels like a small car even though its quite large. Quite a change on the pocket to run aswell :biggrin1:

Steering wheel & phone mount has to go! Other than that a bit of a tidy up I'd say & you're on to something.

Thing is the other option is the M-Sport steering wheel and I dont think it suits any of the rest of the car . It would look outta place . But yes phone mount has to go

Haha thought the same. I would just rip it out ta fuck.
I'm ok with the steering wheel. Not a lot needed if it's just a wagon for pottering around. Keep the money for the other beast

Best of luck with it. Any pics of the gaff? Must be massive going on the size of your garden!

Not sure if good news or bad news . Spent the last while taking off the intake manifold . With the intention of removing the swirl flaps . . Covered in shite at the moment. Finally get it off and theres no swirl flaps in it . Someone has beat me to it . They are already removed and blanked off:shocked:

Have 6 swirl flap blanks here now if anyone is looking for them
