Righto! Is it fairly straight forward? Hes got another mate helping him who used to work at a BMW garage - so im hoping hes seen them before!  :D

How long does it normally take to change?

can have the box out in an hour or so, its an easy job to do as stated flex pipe for clutch is on to watch, gear linkage is just a questin of removing clips and popping the linkpin out but make sure you undo the 2 13mm bolts on the tailshaft as well,also make sure you check the dmf as they go with monotonous regularity!!! the box i think is actually quite lite, have done it on me own twice!!!  :y

Box is not heavy.....you need to force the fluid in the bleed nipple to get the air out of the clutch setup fully.

Not a bad job and much easier than any modern front wheel drive car
