Whats up with the 2 litre?

I think the Estate one needs more clearance than the saloon, i'm pretty sure Proberjohn fitted a saloon one to his estate and it rubs a little on the diff but it wasnt bad.

it may also depend on the make of the bar.

well without swearing too much i managed to "break" the auto box by running it dry for weeks on end not knowing...
too much money to replace the box, and the car only goes forward now lol, alright if you dont want to reverse anywhere , cant even push it back coz neutral drives aswell..

ill have to get my tape measure out then and do some measuring if its only a few milimeters it could be done?
