I've just had one of those really sickening/expensive experiences.
Pulled out into traffic to fit into a small space, floored it, good boost, no wheel spin .... BANG, CRUNCH, Rattle Rattle, GRIND ..... £££££££££££££

So, if anyone has a UK gearbox, or a matched gearbox and rear diff.
Or, what are the other options, rebuild (by whom), new shape transplant ????

All advise welcome,

Cheers

All being sorted now thanks to Pete at ScoobySport.
Broke it this morning, at Pete's by 11, stripped and box sourced, should be back tomorrow.
Thats what I call service ...
Just need to fix the dent in the credit card now ...

That's a damn site better than my local dealers.

April) Noted issue with 4th/5th grinding - 'Can't find anything wrong sir'
September) 4th/5th now don't work - Can't get the parts sir, it'll be a month we reckon

What is the point of a 3 yr warranty if they won't fix the ******* thing anyway?
