Spoke to the gearbox chap, he is an option, but a company in Greenwich have told me they can rebuild my box with uprated parts, so thats what im going to go for.

Hi mate.

Its a power steering company, power steering services, Fords put them in touch with me direct and the chap there (Alan) said he can rebuild my box either using uprated parts or standard parts, so i think you can more or less pick and choose the spec you want, he told me to uprate 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear and leave 1st and 5th as standard, so thats what we're doing, i'll let you know what its like once its finally installed

I did think that myself, what i didnt want was them just reconditioning my box and telling me they have done different, maybe the quaife kit is what they have in mind, these fecking cars are a nightmare !!

Cheers for the info Dave
