I Know it's not a Scooby but I've tried everywhere. Even 118118
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Best ask a pug specialist TBH.

Are you 100% you need a new gearbox? Worth taking it to your local gearbox specialist and letting him have a quick drive before splashing out.

I've been to two and both say they think its the gearbox.
I think it's the clutch, but I'm not an expert.
Brought the car on Sunday.
Drove 130 miles home, used it for work Tuesday 76 miles.
Work on Wednesday heard a sort of grinding noise, but all gears changing lovely.
Thursday noise getting worse and crunching when changing down into 4th & 3rd. Friday crunching changing up into 3rd & 4th unless done very very slowly.
All the time it's fine in 5th.
Took it into a gearbox specialist who said it a very strange noise and could be the drive shaft, clutch or gearbox. (I could have told him that)
Then quoted me the worst case scenario rebuild £550 + parts + clutch + vat
£400 labour for me to supply a gearbox and him to fit it.
Saturday took it to a mates mates garage who said "strange noise" and he thinks it's the gearbox because it's not making the noise in 5th.
£200 to fit a box and he rang Neverdon salvage who have boxes for 405's & 406'es but don't know if they are the same.
Hence my ?
The bit that's got me is how quick its happened. Surely if it was the gearbox it would go over time. Not a matter of days.

£200 to change a gearbox is still a lot of money, I was quoted £100 recently to change a pug gearbox, details on request.

I would personally have the mechanic rip the box out and inspect the clutch before forking out on a box, shouldnt effect the labour cost as the box has to come out regardless, and might be the clutch smashed.

I think your right.

Just need to make sure I can get a box. Just in case.

That would be great if you can find it.
I was told yesterday that there's one on burnt mills ind est in Basildon.
Is that the one you have the number for?
