Automatic Gearbox production suspended???

Right, here's one for you

A friend of mine wants a cooper automatic and will be getting one one the mobility scheme

He called Helliwell Jones in Warrington to book a test drive, but they told him that the auto box production has been suspended until next year due to a new one being developed so not to bother:aargh

I think he's getting fobbed off cause he's a mobility customer

Anyone heard anything about the auto box being suspended?????

Sounds like nonsense. They are rumoured to be developing a DSG gearbox but that is no reason to stop the current auto. The DSG may be held back for the third generation so don't hold your breath. Try another dealer.

Some people are like a Slinky ........ not really good for anything, but you still can't help
but smile when you shove them down the stairs
