Having been in this car today, I'd say there is more than just a low voltage issue with this gearbox. The fault code was historic rather than current.

The amount of slip and way the gearbox was randomly thumping into gear sounded/felt quite terminal to me.

Being a 2.5 TD, AR25 box with 150k on the clock, I'd say the chances of this box being toast are pretty high!  :'(

With this extra info, tend to agree with you James. AR35 would be the best bet 8-)
