It would seem the genral opinion points towards an Auto box then, I will be going out this weekend to test drive a few diffrent ones and come towards my own opinion.

Thanks for the advice boys and girls. (more questions to follow)
 
Auto for me, easy and relaxed driving, most people have replied with similar choice, one thing to note if you go auto and want a little grunt off the lights plus better ecom, get it remapped.

had mine done for towing transformed the car completely.




Not if he gets a TDi 300 auto, he can't.
 
Auto drives great and relaxed for school drop off. In snow and ice works well. Disco 2 has hill descent and it works great - tested it a lot last winter.

Also do a search on gearboxes on the forum and look at the gearbox shaft wear at high miles. Can get a madified hardened shaft but that is a rebuild.

I'd vote auto but they are both great.
