    Think I might have to give dreadnought garage a call, can't seem to find any uprated gearboxes for our cars.

    There some for the KV6 1.8 k-series and the V8, otherwise can't seem to find one for the CDTI model, unless I look at the BMW side of things.

    Regards to suspension, does anyone have recommendations on where to shop for them.?

    What am trying to do is calumniate how much I need save for that target.
    Then work out my bills and also how much I earn in a week and convert it to a monthly thing.

    Like to plan ahead at the same time, learn more about the engine and your input and information.
    I can do this and enthusiasm is improving everyday.



    Its just a damn good car and looks the part and I'm confident it will do well.
    Cars can be a pain in the backside, The hybrid has had quite a few jobs done I can say it was money well spent.
    Am I going to give up when ever a problem occurs the answer

    THIS IS ONE CAR I WILL KEEP TO THE END
