Default Help please! Local gearbox repair or scrap yard, Ford

Hi all,

A friend has just had the bad news that the gearbox in his Fiesta is toast! He has asked if i know where he might get a second hand box or a recon one local but the couple of scrap dealers I know have not been any help.

I live in Aberdare, any suggestions welcome!

Thanks in advance,
Ian

There is a place in Llantarnam but the name escapes me. There are a number of places down Wentloog, Lamby Way and near the old East Moors steel works. Bill Way is always good value.

Hi mate, sorry for the late reply, its ben a busy few days!

It is an 06 1.4 petrol, I am not sure where my mate is with sorting this now though but I can let him know you may have one if it is a suitable fit.

Cheers,
Ian

Hi bossuk, I spoke to my mate and he had already put the car in with South Wales Transmissions, set him back £460!

Thanks again all for the help.
