Thanks Ben
Brears in Leeds. Details in the company feedback section. Call for a quote. Quick turnaround and good price!
JP Race in Silverstone used to do the G40 cup car 'boxes.
Thanks guys think I'll give Jp race a go as it's close to me about half hour down the road , Andy how's PPP for time? these days looking to get a tune up / mapped soon after getting the box sorted lol cheers
+1 for Jp Race :)
Any chance you could let us know how much for a rebuild from jp? Cheers mate :)
I've just had mine done at Brears in Leeds. Really nice bunch of guys cost 160 to fit the diff and rebuild. Turn around was 1 working day. They are not open Saturdays though which can make picking up dropping off a bit of a pain!
£160?! I don't understand lol, I have been quoted between £500 and £600 for rebuilds and not even for diff fitment
Depends what they replace and what parts they use.
Parts to fit a new diff (diff seals, diff bearings and bolts) are circa £70, so I'd be surprised if Mark's guys had replaced all the gearbox bearings for £160 - I got the impression he was just paying for diff fitment?

Got my diff fitted recently and I went to VW for the seals/bearings etc. and it came to around £70. So I'd agree that £160 was most likely for diff fitment because that's about what it cost me....
What's a full gearbox rebuild? Are all the gears replaced too?
No, they check play in gears etc, but all bearings are changed. Any extra wear or damage costs extra
Sorry I should have clarified, Yes it was just for the diff fitting but I supplied replacement bearings and bits and bobs which they fitted whilst doing the diff swap
Mine was about £300-ish from memory, but that was nearly 10 years ago now...
