What's wrong with those alloys Paul? You're not a big fan I take it?
I'll have any of them of you that you don't like...

Re: S1 2.1 auto in graphite with leather on ebay
Andrew,
Firstly, Im not frightend of the Auto box, got a 2.oi turbo box AND 2 no 3 V6 auto boxes, which with a bit of messing could probably get to fit.. but if it goes forwards and backwards in all gears, and an immediate fluid change is done what he problem of her lasting a year! Thats more then 300£ worth of motoring...
Secondly, Im sorry, I cannot get on with "wobbly Webs" Id far rather S1 24v/Later SEi alloys, OR first edition "SEi alloys" with the large centre cap.. but not wobbly webs..

Re: S1 2.1 auto in graphite with leather on ebay
As far as I'm concerned any autobox is just another garden ornament or doorstop waiting to happen and
I'm not so much frightened by the damned things as antagonised into outright hostility by their irritating
speed banded changes TOTALLY at odds with the prevailing traffic/speed limit/wind direction and they're
never in a high enough gear to be a viable proposition: plus I still have two legs and a working
understanding of an Xm handbrake. The HP20 box came too late in the Xm's to change my feelings
about Xm autos and s2 24v's aren't exactly two a penny!
Anyhow, I've recently been spoiled by the joyous positive/light hydraulic clutches in the 2.5TD's and
Activae and don't plan on changing matters in the garage neither. There is life beyond an autobox in
an Xm...

It wasn't me bought it, though maybe I should've done. I like to see cars before buying and hadn't so..
