Re: spares

Apparently I need a BVM gearbox Bosch for a 5 speed. I wd take a chance on one from a scrappy if I can get the fitting costs down. Anyone near Devon happen to know of one?

Re: spares

Yes indeed, a Y-reg Hdi.(155k miles). Having just invested £2k in clutch, brakes, tyres and tow bar I am loathe to give up on it. If I SORN it, I have a mechanic friend who can plunder it for most spares - I wd prefer an estate, as the saloon is not really a beast of burden. I have been quoted £2.5k...

spares

My 406 diesel saloon gear box has gone, just after spending out on new clutch. If I buy a diesel 406 estate for similar year how much of the scrapped saloon can I use to cannibalise for an estate?
