Yes It could only happen to me..... Customer wanting manual mx5 converted to Auto for medical reasons .Anyone any suggestions without being rude !!! I can do it but ????

[sidewaysreilly]

why why why???

Lad has issue with his leg and revenue will not let him but a car unless its new !! Or keep his existing car

[leamyj]

Hmm, that's fuckin' mad Ted, they're not exactly making it easy for him..so they'll cough up if the car is converted or if he buys a new one, but feck off if you buy a second-hand car..what a load of boll*x..

[MX5Spares]

New car only and it must be from Main Dealers with vat invoice etc. Conversion to existing is his own cost.!!He does,nt have the price of a new car ....same as the rest of us !!!

that could be an interesting project...
Autobox module, ecu, throttlebody, wiring harness (full one), pedal assembly, mounts/bushings, etc

[rhysmate]

Do it !!

Organise a tech day and we can all come up and help itll be an excuse for me to buy for parts haha

[leamyj]

Would it be possibly cheaper to trade in his own car against an auto?? Just wondering??

[MX5Spares]

They wont allow him to trade in unless he buys new ( which is costly) and bear in mind he has petrol allowance ,cheap tax etc.Secondhand cars unless you already own it are not eligible for allowances

Ni problem to swop over ,excluding a lot of work/time,as long as I have the two cars side by side...but it does include full loom swop ,ecu,ignition switch,gearbox,driveshaft,console,gearlever ,pedals ,throttle cable and gear change cables on accelerator body etc

i bought a vitara recently it had been converted to semi auto.i dont know how it works exactly but push a few buttons the clucth is engaged permanently there is a button on the gear stick you push to change gear and a sensor on the accelerator i took the fuses out to disable it in case herself turned it on in error it looks like it was a fairly easy conversion every thing else is standard you are welcome to have a look

I think Alan from Kerry , black in black , has done this the other way around ie auto to manual ,might be worth talking to him

Ak I have done 2 auto to manual conversions so I am a bit of an expert but manual to auto is a bit complicated and a lot more work !!!

[stag76]

Robert,why dosent he just buy a s/h auto mx5?? there cheap.

even better,find a auto car and just swap it for his manual car?? man worth more as you know.

but if you want the hardship,and the loot ,do the conversion.
