Bargain. Bit of a trek from the UK though.

Isn't he the same guy who drops the box without an engine pull? Sure I've seen another thread on here a while back.

[V!per]

Yes it's the same one

It seems his rebuilds get good press from what I’ve read and for £1600 it seems a decent price too

[M4TTY_D]

can anyone recommend any gearbox builders that could do the rebuilds to a high standard with the proper parts for folk that was willing to go through the heart breaking pain of removing the box themselves?

Look few posts up- that guy does the lot himself - Leave the car with them and he take's the box out and back in.

Jordell reckon its my gearbox internals.

It was rebuilt by A1 on 96 and its now on 108k. Im actually a bit down today but hey ho lets fkn go!! I also told them they can go fk themselves on what they just charged me to look at the car and got it down to 50 quid. Wont be back in a hurry.

Unreal, some people think your loaded and try taking the piss.

BTW, my gearbox wasn’t broken. Faulty gearbox ECU.

Best Wishes to everyone

Did they mention possibly what caused the fault? Moisture perhaps?

[Carlson]

Yes moisture due to water ingress from pollen filter housing seal.
New ECU, carpet removed and dried. Seal replaced.

If any of you are still on the original pollen filter seal I’d replace it if I were you...

Thank you MRC- brilliant as usual.

[Daveperc]

Yep - MRC are rather good at rebuilding very wet beasts!!

Ouch, I think I am going to put it on my LOSTD list for the RS and ensure that I replace the seal around the pollen filter and ensure the drain plugs are clear. I need to replace the rain tray (it's a little damaged from the previous owner gluing down the inspection cover for the coolant bottle....
