In the transmission line, if it ends with B5/IB5 it was a factory produced manual, for semi auto models it will be IB5-ASM

Hi Thank you so much just done that and it has confirmed on there that it is a 5 speed manual , must of been a clerical error somwere thanks again much appreciated .

okhere goes i am confused.. my 54 late fusion says on the log book semi automatic ? but i have only ever drive manual cars and this seems exactly the same as manuals i have drove
i change gears like a manual and there is 3 pedals like a normal manual car so why is it clled a semi automatic the gearstick is set out like a normal manual ?
can someone advise please thansk

if it has been change of gearbox to now a manual ? from a semi automatic from the previous owner it still says semi automatic on the log book ? would that need to be changed at dvla even though it was ike that when i bought it ?

Sooty plugs usually mean running rich, check your air filter.
When running right the plugs are usually a nice coffee brown.

will be changing the air filter when it is deivered in next day, also while i am at it i am going todrop the oil and put fresh oil in aswell question is do you know wht the correct oil i should put in as there are so many 9 semi, full synthetic etc
thanks in advance

would you say it feels hesitant? could be plugs leads or possibly the coil pack.

yes feels hesitant took plugs out and they look a bit sooty ?
