1AA gearbox required 01 bugeye
 
Hi,

I had a problem with the gearbox in my 01 bugeye last year. I got another box from Grade-A and that went a day after the warranty so bought another box from them, and that's gone now too, luckily within the warranty period so I'm getting my money back.

I could do with a working gearbox from a breakers. Can anybody recommend somebody else as Grade-A apparently have no more.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

(Hope I posted this in the right place)

If its a Uk car and your code is TY754VN1AA then you can also use a TY754VN2AA or
TY754VN4AA the 4AA is the box fitted to the UK blob wrx.

Don`t worry I`ll have to pack it back onto the pallet for you lol.

g00gl3r 23 April 2012 01:50 PM

Thanks to both of you.

Looks like my scooby will be back on the road end of the week. Thank god!

4 gearboxes in 6 months and it's been off the road for 5 of those months.

I must be jinxed with gearboxes from Grade-A and they are the most expensive supplier I found with the shortest warranty. Went with them due to their reputation. Though I do understand if it's not reconditioned, you never know the quality and / or lifespan of it!

Car Transplants in Natnwich had the cheapest box with a 6 month warranty but it was a 4AA. Mine's a bug eye not blob eye apparently it's a 1AA or 2AA only?

Anyway, got one now. Thanks lads!

Guess Darren will let me know when its going, so I`ll get it tied down and wrapped up ready.

g00gl3r 23 April 2012 02:18 PM

Yes mate I guess so. Look after it! It seems to be rare!!! haha

I think he said it'll get picked up next couple of days, dropped off end of week time.

It's sat on a pallet at mine mate all wrapped up with no where to go. As far as I knew it was supposed to be collected yesterday, and I've sent a message to Darren with no reply. So if I were you I'd ring him to see what is going on. As said it's been ready since Wednesday evening for collection yesterday, but not gone. I'm in work at the moment and get home at 5ish so will see if it's gone then. But pm me and will discuss.

g00gl3r 27 April 2012 03:38 PM

Called and left a message with Darren so will try again in a bit. Keep me posted if you hear anything mate. Much appreciated.

g00gl3r 30 April 2012 10:54 AM

Hey Jimbob,

Darren said there has been a delay with the couriers. Has it been collected yet mate?

Cheers

Dan

Nope, message I had was mess up with the couriers and has had to be re-booked. So it should be collected tomorrow.

Will let you know if it goes lol.

g00gl3r 30 April 2012 04:19 PM

Boooo - I suppose another day wont hurt. It's been off the road 9 months now!

No :brickwall

Theres been someone here all day, so no one has been missed.
And its still wrapped in plastic, on a pallet here waiting.

g00gl3r 01 May 2012 06:20 PM

Gutted.

Motorsport place is getting annoyed now he keeps dragging the car in and out ready.

I guess it wont get there now until Friday even if picked up tomorrow. So could be next week even.

I'll check in again tomorrow evening matey if that's okay.

I`ll send ANOTHER message to Darren.

I could have walked it to you at this rate.

Scooby Parts 02 May 2012 08:37 PM

I have a TY754 box here that will fit your car and can get it to you for Friday.

£250 delivered

g00gl3r 02 May 2012 10:01 PM

Any guarantee with that mate?

Jimbob 03 May 2012 01:15 AM

Still here.

Tbh this is getting a bit of a bad joke now.

g00gl3r 03 May 2012 01:56 PM

Gutted!

I might organise a courier myself mate and then charge back the cost from the credit card payment to Darren. Is it in Swansea?

Scooby Parts 03 May 2012 02:02 PM

Came out my own car so I know its 100%.

Im in scotland but its out and ready to go asap

g00gl3r 03 May 2012 04:43 PM

Hi Scooby Parts,

I'll see if I can get this one now it's been on order for a while, if I can't get it by monday/tuesday now I'll charge back the credit card and buy yours. Do you take card by chance?

Jimbob 03 May 2012 05:42 PM

Other option is to organise your own courier, and get the money back for postage.
Its on a pallet waiting to go, and I can give you collection details.

Tbh I`ll be glad when the sodding thing has gone!!
