I've got a 1.8, which presumably won't fit, but I found a (apparantly in a very good condition according to my garage) gearbox from a brakers. The box had done 40000 compared to my 108000 and I've done 1800 miles since without fault. Cost me £180 for the box, thats includes VAT and delievery. I think I found it through www.breakerlink.net.

Good luck!

got 2 replies abt box one from North London breakers at 250 and one from fenland breakers at £180 delivered:shock: .
Cost of fitting box at local garage (in Cambridge ) £240 (5 hours + disposal of old box), so bight the bullet and now geting car repaired

so looks like the old girl will be on the road again soon, but as a second car as the millage i do is a bit excessive for the old girl to manage, so main car will now be a turbo diesel 150bhp 330foot pounds of tourque or so the brochurs say.
But still enjoy the look and feel of the ba on the road......
And thanks again liam for pointing me at the website

Welcome to the rip off fen! My last service was £200 and that didn't include anything major. #-o So I'm gonna do the basics myself from now on, and just gget it checked over every year by the garage. If anyone does find a decent garage in the Cambridge area let me know please!!!! [-o<

KBS - when she's on the road again, want to join me and Wai for a Cambs mini meet?

ok on the meet will be a week or 2 before car is ready as in the garage for next couple of days, then need to give it some running in to iron out any gremlins in the engin.
yes garages in cambs area charge around the £40 mark but most dealers charge around £80ph.
The car is actually in cambs as closer to where it broke so easier to get it recovered to cambridge as garage oposit where i work..
So the old card is taking a hamering this month
