I didn't rip him off!,gave him what he asked for,i did offer him more,he just wanted rid of it,it is a shame to break it though,but to have it repaired its going to cost around £700,looked in all local breakers yards but all autoboxes already gone,if anyone wants anything let me know...wayne

My apologies, did'nt mean you ripped him off, as u gave him what he asked for, u could have gave him a lift home though to save him the taxi fare on the way past the chippie ;D

Have you tried any online used spare part searchs? for a gearbox I've used them to some success. Just Google used car spare parts, and take it from there If you are successful you will get one or several calls from breakers ( usually quite early) with prices terms etc :y
