The escort is on the way out, after a collosal 192585 miles, the gearbox is starting to give up the ghost. Strange sounds have begun to emerge for the thing, at any speed between 25 and about 60, above 60 is fine the road noise drowns it out. Still came back from shropshire touching 95 at points (Slap on the wrists for speeding).

So what to do? Is it down to the scrap yard and try to get another box, or is on the scrap heap for the old girl?

Anyone have a spare gearbox for a 1.8deisel Escort 95 M-reg, oldershape, front mount? If so please E-mail, scrapyard quoted £100, but did not have one in.

Boo Hoo.
