Hi folks,

I was wondering whether you could give me some good commercial advice here.
I'm trying to get a replacement gearbox for the above car, whose original gearbox exploded due to a small internal component coming loose and breaking the housing - apparently a common problem around the 130k mile mark.
The prices I'm beign quoted seem a little higher than I'd expected, so can anyone give me an idea of what to expect to pay for an 020 2Y gearbox from a scrapyard and for the same box reconditioned? Preferably with a 3 month warranty in both cases.

Finally can anyone point me to a reliable source for either that they have had good service from.

thanks
Mike
