I'm in the same situation but down south, think my gearbox is about to give up! I've heard people talking about a company called ace gearboxes but I don't know where they are based.

Try volkspares on 02087787766, they deliver you a recond box and pick your old one up at a later date. £450 + vat, Tony from there seemed to know his stuff. ive had my box off them 6 months naw and all seems fine.

Engine and gear box on ebay, maybe cheaper to buy this then sell the engine seperately?
