Manual vs Auto

Went way up a river bed hunting many years ago got to the hut strange the auto box land cruiser was sitting no one about.

Turns out one of the batteries went duff he was stuck until an other battery arrived. and they had to walk to and from their chosen hunting spot.

My old manual Triton 2.8td was parked next to it and for fun I let it roll a couple of vehicle lengths down the hill we were parked on and it started easily.

Ive also put petrol in it more times than I should admit its still going strong just had the injectors checked, shimmed the camshaft valve clearances fitted a new timing chain and tensioner hopefully it will still go to the moon and back again!

I have a BMW X5 40d M Sport 8 speed auto I am going to sell but I am keeping the old Triton.
