Cheers for that Adam, think id prob get a v6 wagon and not to fussed on petrol or diesel as I'd do stuff to it and use just for fun and trailer my tank to shows etc etc once its ready for that stage lol.

Take it back to the dealers and demand they fix it or ull be going to the papers claiming they sold you a car under faulse pretensess.

Tbh bud, its a good idea for it to be done BUT with the conversion I cudnt nor wouldn't know where to start so its safe to say this idea has been put to sleep.
Regards the 4motion/syncro do they do them in a wagon coz if they do I'd prob get one of them.
