yes manual boxes are outdated but i like them. have droven a few auto cars and vans at various times but hate them. i just sit there and go i want to change to change gear and go for the clutch. this is not a good idea with a merc people carrier as the handbrakes in place of the clutch.
HDI the master of diesel can you answer a question for me a read that for part of a diesel mot the engine has to be taken to 3 times it maximum speed to test for smoke levels. i take it this means if your car has a red line of 4500 rpm then the engine is reved to 13500 surly this cant be right is it?
