thinking of getting a RRC
SebastianW:
Sometimes I think we'd be better without a government :roll:
SebastianW:
Well I've decided that I'm going to get a petrol rangie.
But now I'm stuck with another conundrum :roll: , auto or manual.
Everyone I've asked says auto, but I've always promised myself that unless I live in a city, I will not have an auto. And I like to be in alot of control of a vehicle and I fear I wont be in much control with an auto. I'm sure that wont be the case, but I do like to change up late and feel the thrill of going up the gears, you know? It's FUN. :lol: :P
Range Rover Blues:
Yes I too used to say if you wanted an Auto you should have your leg sut off first, but I'm swapping the cr****y old Sherpa van gearbox in Blue for an auto.
I'm converted and no-one can give me a valid reason I shouldn't swap, even ignoring the economics of the matter.
The 4 speed auto is a good unit, it will do the miles, locks up in 4th for economy, no clutches to fry, uses the power of either V8 or TDi well, particulary the V8 and quite frankly I don't think I'd be holding the lower gears quite as long as my Auto does anyway.
Add to that I have a knee injury though, so I like cruise control as well
SebastianW:
Well I'm glad to see I'm not alone.
Wont having 4 gears instead of 5 affect acceleration?
What is approx. the power loss you from an auto compared to manual? Does anyone know?
