Last friday i blew the gearbox on my everyday car a vectra 1.9 cdti.
5th and 6th gears have gone in the box, this happened on my way to work so drove it straight to burton brothers wauxhall ramsey, just happens to be where the old chap works, they got straight on to vauxhall to see if they would supply me with a new gearbox bearing in mind it a 2007 vectra with 60000 mile on it, and i gussed as i had heard nout by the end of the day on saturday it was a no go and started to look fir a second hand box.
Found load and people want really good money for them there £1400 and a good second hand one is £1000 plus, good job i didnt buy one tho as vauxhall just phoned me and going to pay 75% of a new box give me a 30000mile wanty on it and pay fitting costs so all in all well pleased with the service ive recived.
