I'm looking for a 200/300 TDi Disco, as a toy really. I would prefer a manual, but seem to find more autos, which leads me to ask a few questions.
1) how much less economy are they? Are we talking <5mpg difference, or half?
2) Are they more or less reliable than a manual? Any problems to look out for?
3) long term, could I get a manual box and swap it for the slush box? Much work to swap them?
4) what are the off road benefits/drawbacks of a slush box? I know on the gaylanders the autos are preferred for off roading - similar for a disco?
