EPIC and Auto thoughts

Selling off one (or bits :o) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

I have both, auto and manual. I prefer the auto, because the gear change on the manual isn't the best in the world.

I do agree with Andrew that the non cat N/A 2.0 is a realy flyer, it amazes me how quick it is every time I jump into it from the auto 2.1 TD. It just loves to be driven hard.

Never driven an Epic 2.1, but I am glad mine has the manual pump, as the potentiometer on the Bosch pump on the Xantia TD we have is constantly playing up, and messing about with idle and general smooth running of the engine.

Anytime. If anyone else would like a copy, just PM me. It is a fascinating read, but takes a little digesting...
