So, something turned up. Horrible colour, cloth interior, only a 2.5 and not a MFL. It's a PFL. But it's manual and looks to be in good shape. Mileage is around 200 thousand Km. So not necessary low mileage. But not high either.

It's the first one which can at least be considered. So far all of them were just not worth it.

I have read the whole thread and admire your persistence. I also admire your humour, as I assume the above was said in jest.  :'(

The 'car to be considered' is the wrong colour, wrong interior, wrong engine and the wrong model year, but it has a manual gearbox so you are getting closer.  ;)  :y
For what it's worth, when I swapped my engine all I needed was an engineers report, as the car was essentially the same, but then I am UK based and as you say, things are different where you are.  :y

Well, we have 2 other cars. So I'm not exactly in a hurry. I'm not desperate for a car. So I can be patient. Of course I would prefer having it sooner rather than later. But it needs to be the right car or something that will allow me to get there without much fuzz. So basically either a 2.5 manual or the proper 3.0 manual. Once I find it, it will be a keeper for sure.

Seriously mate, go back and read what I and many others have said  ;) :-X


Or learn semaphore  :y :y

Don't recall any talks of the effect of using the 2.5 ECU on a 3.0.

Digressing is better than going on about a mythical car again & again & again & again ...........

I see. Thanks.

By the way, I may have found something. Price is good. It was an automatic which was converted to manual. It has a few problems. It seems the display is not working properly. There is also a problem with the power steering pump. But a new one is supposed to be included. Makes you wonder why not change it before the sale. Is it an expensive or difficult job?

And is there something to look out for with a converted to manual car? Something to make sure was done properly?
