Tax incentives if you drive a small "CC'd" Engine & a Manual.
I believe the manual gearbox is the same as the one in the Puma Defenders.
I have seen one recently for sale somewhere in Aus that was a manual.
Blacklocks Albury had one at one stage, as my father test drove it but decided against due to lack of air suspension, and TR. Said it was a nice car to drive though.

D3 TDV6 Manual...
- AFAIK - I don't think it's the same gearbox as the Puma (The Puma has the Ford MT82).
- I don't know about Oz but over here you can get the manual all the way up to the HSE spec!
- There is a reason why the manual is sooo much cheaper than the manual... ;)
- To drive the manual properly is quite difficult to do without stalling. This is coz it is sooo hard to hear the engine & the bite point on the clutch.
I'd suggest taking an auto out for a test drive so you can compare.

A manual gear box was/is a NCO on any D3 from SE to HSE.
I am thankful the dealer talked me out of going for the manual in an SE, love the auto!
Also, who would want a second hand D3 in manual? Not many I suspect.

Hi jonesfam,
I don't know where you get your "holier than thou" attitude, certainly not from experience!:mad:
