Shame about the gearbox but dont let it get you down, it always sounds serious but everything on a car is replaceable and can be fixed
You will soon be back on the road

Re: Finally got Godderz23 6N2 On the road :)
Your probably best going to a gearbox specialist and have them rebuild your box rather than source a second hand recon box.
If you buy a gearbox it’s impossible to tell what condition it’s in and how good the rebuild was (a lot of dodgy companies out there)
1st Gear Transmission do a good exchange service and the boxes they supply have uprated bearings too so are stronger than the OEM units.
I used them on my Car and the box they eventually supplied was very good.
If I was having problems again though I would definitely go direct to a gearbox specialists and have them fix my own gearbox rather than a replacement, it’s not the sort of thing you want going wrong again.

Update on the car
Hopefully getting it in the garage this week to take out the gear box and have a look
then should hopefully be back on the road (with a bit of luck!) Driving my mums Fiesta Ztec S at the moment. (Parents are Life Savers)

Where did you manage to get the genuine mats from? Looked a few times for mine but never managed to hunt a decent set down.
