Cheers

Its getting replaced at my work under my used car warrenty so free. But its a exchange box from vw at £1200+VAT thts the cheapest we could get it. was going to keep the old box and rebuild it but theres a £630 surcharge

Most places ask for yours in return otherwise yogurt stuck with the surcharge. Also they do that for callipers, pads, and starter motors
