I like this idea...... I need an automatic gearbox, I'm not allowed to drive anything else.
Looking at Defenders already fitted with an auto box certainly limits my choice. I like the idea of shopping around to select the perfect defender then putting in an auto box myself (or paying someone else to), it gives me free reign to shop around a lot more, giving me a million more options.
The only sticking point.... how much for a typical auto conversion - £5/6k??
as cheap as you want it a 300 tdi would be cheapest box would be straight swap for exisiting box no moving of transfer box only a bracket needed to mount selector lever ,attachment for kick down cable on pump and flywheel housing clutch swapped for auto plate and t/converter
