bad to terrible - but I love em!
Personally I'd always have an auto - lovely drive and no clutches to fail

Except the main "A" clutch and the "C" clutch and sometimes the "C1" clutch.
My 110 in "cruise mode" (keeping up with main A-road traffic) would normally return 16-17mpg with a 5 speed manual box, 14-15 with the ZF4 auto fitted. All on petrol. Then I fitted a 4.0 (3.9) and now I get 11-14mpg, running on LPG. Off-road? Don't ask!!!! Badger.
Just bought a V8 with an auto box - sod the fuel consumption -it heaven to drive!!! mind you it's fitted with LPG so at 34p a litre :-)

mind, "A" clutch failing still leaves you reverse.
Yup , the kit I have on Percy transformed him.... I can hear stuff now!
